Raymond's POV
After talking with Leon about relationships and getting some advice from him, I somehow managed to gather enough courage to head back to the restaurant again.
Honestly, the entire walk there felt stupidly long.
Not because the place was actually far away, but because my brain kept doing that annoying thing where it overthinks absolutely everything right before something important happens. One second I was feeling confident enough to confess properly, then the next second I was wondering if I should just turn around and pretend I never came in the first place.
Leon really made it sound easier when we were talking.
Then again, he wasn't the one about to confess to a woman who openly called herself a slut with a completely straight face.
Still, I already came this far. Backing out now would've made me look pathetic even to myself.
