"Yeah A part of me is worried, but another part of me isn’t worried, if that makes sense I love her, Luke I mean, I’m pretty damn sure I fell in love with her when I was ten years old"

He started laughing "That’s a long time, dude" He shook his head and looked at me "Will, I love Alex I mean, she’s more like my sister than my cousin I want to see her happy just like I want to see you happy, but…"

"But what?"

He pushed his hand through his hair and let out a quick breath "Will, what if you meet so y’all have ever known is each other I mean, did you even date anyone else before Alex?"

I looked down at the ground before glancing back up at Luke "I don’t kno to explain it, Luke When I see her, she steals my breath When I’m near her, I can feel the attraction between us I feel the love I’ve never in irl"

"Dude, there are a lot of girls in college A lot"

"Not interested"

Luke threw his head back and laughed "You’re a better guy than irls did you hook up with last year while you were at school?"

He shrugged his shoulders "Two One is just a fuck buddy She doesn’t want anything fro from her"

"The other one?" I asked

"Just a girl I dated for a bit She wanted ive it to her"

I nodded "So, there has never been a girl who made you want more?"

He looked off over the pasture He turned back to me and said barely above a whisper, "No Never"

But his eyes were giving me a different answer I knew Luke cared for Libby How much he cared about her hat I didn’t knoondered how Libby would react to seeing Luke at school with another girl I pushed it aside and finished off my water

"She loves you, Will"
