Artist's commentary
"Look at me when we talk!"
I couldn't meet her face. After all, she'd end up sensing something was wrong.
I'd been able to talk with her normally up to now, so what was the problem? My heart was pounding so much, she was bound to hear it.
"Is something wrong?" she asked, sounding concerned.
There was no way I could honestly say something like "I've fallen in love with you." I decided to smile and dodge the question.
