I couldn't believe what had just spilled out of my mouth. The words had flown from my lips without any filter, baring my soul in a way I had never intended. Panic surged through me, and my heart pounded loudly in my chest, drowning out any other sound in the room.

I wanted to find the nearest hole and bury myself in it, never to face this embarrassment again.
I looked at him, that mix of surprise, shock, and confusion on his face, I also saw something else—something softer, more vulnerable. But mostly he looked like he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world. His eyes were staring right into my soul.
