Thrown off by the sudden declaration, Ty noticed her cheeks were flushed red as she stated this.
Ty gazed up at the moon, its light shimmering across the water's surface below. "I won't regret the feelings you think you have for me.
But I don't think we've known each other long enough to throw around the word 'love'."
He continued, speaking with care. "I do respect your honesty with me about your feelings, though, and I hope I can live up to the image you have of me. I am but a broken man trying to return to his previous life."
Interrupting Ty mid-sentence, she promised to keep helping him until that day came. Ty smirked a little and responded, "Fine then.
But after that, I want you to find your own passion in life.
You're strong and talented and shouldn't limit your growth to the dreams of another."
Giving her a gentle pat on the head, he stated, "Let's go ahead and get back before Todd gets jumped again for looking like a monster."
