I have to be productive

Before Leora could gather my thoughts, Ava took both of my hands in hers, her touch sending a jolt of electricity coursing through my veins. "Leora, can we talk about yesterday?" Ava asked softly, her gaze searching my eyes for answers.

I felt my cheeks flush with heat at Ava's question, my mind spinning with a whirlwind of emotions. I opened my mouth to respond, but the words caught in my throat, leaving me speechless and unsure of how to proceed.

But before I could utter a single word, Ava pressed on, her voice filled with urgency. "Do you like me, Leora?" she asked, her eyes searching my face for any sign of the truth.

My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to find the right words, my thoughts in turmoil as I grappled with my feelings for Ava. "We're... we're very good friends," I managed to say, my voice trembling with uncertainty.
