Paul isn't one to show emotions, so when he suddenly came out and shouted at you that he was "so fucking in love with you that it physically makes me sick to see you with any other guy", you couldn't help but think over all the times when he might have shown his love for you. 

Hint number one was probably about a year ago when you had grown your hair from shoulder length to mid back but you kept thinking that your hair is short. When you'd do something, you'd get frustrated that you didn't remember to bring a hair tie. One time that happened and Paul, who had quite short hair at the time, pulled a hair tie off his wrist and tied your hair in a ponytail for you.

Hint number two was pointed out by your friend, Cara. Every single time Paul made eye contact with you, he couldn't help but smile. You tried to convince yourself that it was just Paul being a good friend, and smiling at you, but Cara was so insistent on him smiling at the thought of you. 

Hint number three was that one time when you broke your ankle while sailing about an hour off the shoreline. You'd slipped on a puddle of water at the bow and your ankle broke. Paul sat with you the whole hour back, hugging you tightly and rubbing your back, kissing the side of your head telling you it was all going to be okay. 

Hint number four was around two weeks into your broken ankle experience, you were reading a good book that had a riddle intertwined in the tale. You'd called Paul over and asked him to help you figure it out. He'd leaned over so close that his cheek brushed against yours. His soft skin making yours tingle. Paul put his arm around you and whispered the answer in your ear, making you shiver slightly.

Hint number five was on a rainy day. You'd always loved dancing in the rain and this time was no exception. You dashed outside as soon as you saw the slightest bit of water leak from the clouds, dragging Paul behind you. You splashed him with water, right into his socks. As revenge, Paul ran after you, ready to tickle you. He bear hugged you from behind and spun you around, laughing the whole time. 

Hint number six was right after you came inside from the rain, your shoes were soaking wet against the marble flooring. You were high off dopamine from the rain, and didn't notice when there was a step in the marble floors. You slipped down it, Paul reached out and caught you by your waist before gently putting you down on the ground. You stared at him for a moment, wanting to kiss him, but you stopped yourself.

Hint number seven was the day before the argument. You were ranting on about how much you loved the stars, listing off each constellation on your fingers and telling the story that each one held. Paul looked at you with admiration and blush on his cheeks, something you couldn't see at the time.

You stared at Paul while these seven moments flashed through your thoughts. You could see it now. You could understand that Paul loved you.

'I love you too.' You replied. Paul lurched forward, crashing his lips to yours. 

'I've been wanting to do that for a very long time.' Paul sighed. 

'Me too.'
