A look of confusion spread across his face when she had decided that they had to talk? He didn't have time to think about it when she answered his silent question. He then nodded at her for assuming that he had heard her ealier, but kept a blank face overall. He could hear her voice getting more and more quiet with each word, and he felt sad that she assumed that he didn't have feelings for her. They had been friends for years, and in that time, friendships usually become more than what people expect. He shook his head and looked at her with a calm smile. "I'm not going to 'politely tell you that I only think of you as a friend.' I love you too much to say something like that to you. For some time, I kept quiet because of the same reason, but also because you had Mark, and I didn't want to risk that relationship I thought you two had for my own enjoyment." His smile grew slightly as he continued to look at her calmly. "I love you Sarah, and I'm glad that you feel the same about me."
