Samantha placed down the cup and sat straight as she looked at him and said, "You can tell me anything, Dr. Sherwood."
'You…'
Everything he wished to say to her seemed to get stuck as soon as she spoke.
Alan pursed his lips tightly and kept quiet.
His intention was to at least confess his feelings to her and have no regrets when he left.
However, he was worried about burdening Samantha if he spoke up just so he would not have any regrets.
It was exhausting to keep holding in feelings that could never be reciprocated.
That was also a reason why people would rather keep their feelings to themselves than speak out—they were afraid of the possibility that they would not even be able to remain friends.
Alan had a conflicted look in his eyes and he still could not bring himself to say anything.
