I saw that. That tiny reaction you thought you hid from me. The slight change in your voice. The hesitation. The breath you didn't mean for me to hear. That half-second before you've decided what you're going to let me see. That's the part I'm interested in. Because maybe attraction isn't always hiding in the things we say. Maybe it's hiding in everything that happens just before we say them. And maybe I've gotten very good at noticing you. The problem? I'm starting to wonder what you've noticed about me. Maybe I've been sitting here feeling very clever, thinking I'm the one watching you... while you've been quietly doing exactly the same thing. Well. That changes things. Next time you think you've hidden your reaction from me? Just remember... I saw that. — Thalia Lux
