Nova Peak Self-made confession

Though he looked calm, there was a flicker of something behind his eyes as pulled away from him, something that caused her to wonder at his true feelings right then. But she didn't comment on it, she just kept it to herself. As he began to talk, Kas's heart fluttered in her chest. He was stuttering, something she wasn't used to from him, and he seemed unsure. Of himself? Of her? She didn't know, but it scared her to see her best friend, this solid rock of a man, unsure of anything.

His words were strange, and it took her a long moment to piece together not only the words themselves, but the meaning behind them. A slow, shy smile slid onto her lips at that point, and she nodded slightly. "I do have my eye on someone...but I don't think he even knows that I exist. I think he loves another." Though she was trying to drop hints to get him to see that it was him she cared about, Kas wasn't so sure that he'd get the message. "Why do you ask?" she prompted, hoping he would say something, anything, to put her fears to rest.
