" I think I'm in love with you." The words hung in the air. It didn't even take five seconds before Matt regretted them.

" I'm sorry. I'm drunk. I mean I want you to please take care of yourself now that he's gone." He was rambling.

" It's okay. I know you do." Haley said softly.
" I've always- we've always known. The night on the roof? You both thought I fell asleep. I didn't. I heard every word and I really did mean to talk to you about everything and clear the air but I just never found the right time."

" Oh."

She looked up, " I'm so sorry Matt. I should have told you earlier." Now she was crying.

Perhaps it was the events from the morning or her guilt or a mixture of both.

" Jesus you're like a faucet." Matt awkwardly patted her back.

She laughed in all of this, her sobs coming in uneven heaves.

" It's okay Haley. Let it out. I'll still be here when you finish."

Haley laughed again, " Why are you such a nice person, Matt? Sometimes I wished that things were different. That I didn't fall for the wrong Pluto brother." Her voice was playful but her tears didn't stop.

" Than don't." Matt said quickly, " Go on a date with me."

Haley glanced up. And again he couldn't breathe. She was so beautiful.

" Please." His words came out breathy.

" Okay, Matt."
