After a few more months of pining, Race finally confesses.
He writes a long letter explaining everything, and mails it to his house.
After the mail truck arrives to take it away, he panics.
What if Spot doesn't like him back? What if all the progress they've made was for nothing? What if Spot begins to hate him?
Race doesn't know if his heart can take it.
The next day, he gets a text from the boy who's somehow making his life wonderful and miserable at the same time.
"I got your letter."
Race feels like he can't breathe.
"sorry just ignore it haha it's stupid"
"I've already read it though?"
Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.
This is it. This is where Race gets his heart broken. This is where he loses Spot.
"Do you mean it? What you said?"
He's...not mad?
"every word"
"Oh"
"u ok?"
"you don't have to worry about it"
"i won't be devastated if you reject me"
Thats a lie. His heart is already bursting.
"I can't find the words"
"I'm not rejecting you though"
"what?"
Race can't tell if his heart has stopped or if it's beating so fast he can't feel it. Spot...likes him back? Maybe? He can't believe it.
"I don't know how to describe it, but I've never had someone care about me so much"
"The way you willingly reached out and helped me despite us never talking to each other..."
"That smile. That dammed smile."
"I think I wanna kiss that smile right off of your face."
Race almost passes out.
