He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver.

"Oh," she says, "I like you very much, too!"
Owen is not sure if she means "O" for Owen, or just plan "Oh." He is not sure what difference it would make in either case. He feels the needs to clarify. "When I said 'I like you very much,' I actually meant 'I love you.'"

"Well," he says to himself, driving back to his apartment, "isn't that something?”
