If someone loved you -someone decent and kind that is- you had a responsibility not to trample all over her heart. And while he had no intention of hurting Emma, he knew that he could injure her just by not loving her back. Of course, maybe, he did love her back. But then again, maybe she didn't love him in the first place. She hadn't actually said as much. He couldn't very well love someone back if she didn't love him first. He could, however, love her first. And that meant that he was going to have to convince her to love him back. But the question was moot anyway because he hadn't yet decided to love her. Or had he? ↗
