"26th May, 06:02 P.M" he breathed. He was so close that I could even hear the slight quiver in his otherwise confident voice "The moment I realised that I was hopelessly in love with you" I turned around so fast that Dennis almost lost his balance. I held his shoulder to steady him, his hands instinctively wrapped around my waist. My back was thankfully supported by the window.
