“Ocean pulled back, just a little. He looked me in the eye and his own eyes were heavy, suddenly. Bright and deep and terrified.
He said, "What would you do if I fell in love with you?"
My entire body answered his question. Heat filled my blood, the gaps in my bones. My heart felt suddenly alive with emotion and I didn't know how to say what I was thinking, what I wanted to say, which was--
Is this love?”
― Tahereh Mafi, A Very Large Expanse of Sea
