he l o v e d her. he was sure of it now, no escape. He felt the strong urge to tell her, right here, right now. wanted to just blurt it out, make his feelings clear to her so there would be no misunderstandings of the intent behind his actions. he had never been good at keeping secrets, anyway. 

he didn't have the courage to tell her. he was afraid, afraid she didn't, wouldn't l o v e him back, afraid she'd think of their friendship as ruined, afraid she'd walk away, never come back (even though he knew she'd always come back). the thought alone of her, rejecting him, hurt.

no, he decided. i can't tell her. not yet.
