An Question (18+)

When he heard those words uttered by the man in front of him, he fell silent for a moment as if he had been shot by a question that made him freeze for a moment.

Nicholas was silent trying to think of an appropriate answer to give to the man in front of him because he seemed to lose his mind when asked the same thing as what he had just asked Edward.

Should I answer honestly to the man in front of me, I can feel what he said to me is something honest from his heart, but I'm confused about how I feel right now. Indeed, this is the first time someone has confessed his feelings to me, and I immediately formalized my relationship with him, because I also wanted to try something different. But now that I think about it, I think I should tell him the truth. Nicholas thought and slowly raised his head to look in the direction where Edward was.
