"I guess so. On the other hand, I bet I was fairly obvious," she said with a small, embarrassed laugh.

"Mm, maybe." Riley looked down. "So... what about you?"

"What do you mean 'what about you'?" she asked.

Riley looked sideways at her. "When did you start having feelings for me?"

"Oh, um... I'm not exactly sure, I guess. It was pretty early on though," Jane admitted, watching her shoes as she walked. "I just know that one day, I realized I liked you. A lot." She added a shrug to the end of her sentence, slightly embarrassed about opening up so much. But if it had to be someone, she was glad it was Riley.

Riley just smiled, stopping and leaning against a large tree, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I... I never really imagined that I'd be able to tell you."

"Same here," she replied, sitting down at the base of the tree Riley was leaning on. "For the longest, I figured you probably had eyes for some other, probably prettier girl."

"Yeah? Nah," Riley replied, shaking his head. "Only for you."

Jane found herself smiling as she looked up at him. She was silent for a minute longer until she asked, "Why me, by the way?"

Riley shrugged, still smiling and sliding down the trunk to sit down next to her. "Why not?"

Jane shrugged. "I dunno... Why not someone else? I mean, there's got to be somebody out there who's got to be...better than me."

Riley bit his lip. "All I know is that I really care about you, because you're you. Jane. Not anyone else. This probably sounds really clichè, but you're unlike anyone else I've ever met. That's why."

She couldn't help but laugh. "Riley, you really are chessy. But you're sweet, thank you."

"Thanks," Riley responded, smiling, before sighing and looking down into his lap, wondering about what to do now. Sure he had dated other girls before, but when it came to Jane, he was clueless, and nervous. Should he kiss her? Maybe. But how would she react? He had a feeling she was new to all this. I should know what to do, dammit. I really am an idiot.

Jane looked over at him, letting the awkward silence draw out as she thought of something to say. Usually, it wasn't this hard to talk to him. At least, not before he confessed his feelings. A slightly sick feeling settled in Jane's stomach. What if all this really did mean everything would change? The thought worried her.

Riley shut his eyes for a moment, before asking the first thing that came to him. "Have you ever been in a relationship before?" he asked quickly, cringing when he finished the question.

It was a while before Jane answered. "N-no," she eventually said quietly. "I haven't. Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering," Riley replied quietly. After a moment, he stood up. "Want to keep walking?" He asked, offering her his hand to help her up.

"Yeah, that sounds good." She took his hand and stood with a quiet sigh. "Where're we headed?"

"Maybe towards the lake?" He suggested, slightly reluctantly letting go of her hand. "It's always nice there."
