Do you love me? James asked suddenlyYes. I do. I didn't even have to think about it. It was so freeingI love you, too, he replied. I've never said that to anyone before.It was so hard to believe. Really?He grinned and gazed out the window. Well, except my first motorcycle, Ramona. But she was a Ducati, so you can blame me. In fact, I think I might have loved her more than I love you.I punched James in the spot between his chest and shoulder.
"Do you love me?" James asked suddenly. I responded affirmatively without hesitation, feeling a sense of liberation from finally expressing my feelings. He then confessed that he loved me too, which was a revelation as he had never said it to anyone before. His reaction was a mix of disbelief and humor, especially when he joked about loving his first motorcycle, Ramona, a Ducati, more than he loved me.
After his comment, I impulsively punched him in a playful retaliation, indicating the complex mix of emotions in the moment. Their exchange highlighted a pivotal point of vulnerability and humor, showcasing their developing relationship amidst the backdrop of a story filled with intriguing events and characters from "The Private School Murders" by James Patterson.
