You had feelings for Jason and you were gathering up courage to confess until he suddenly began to distance himself from you and act as if your friendship never meant anything.

You were furious and cut no contact with him.

One evening, at a friend's party, you two magically had been left alone in a room. That's when Jason could not endure it anymore:

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do! My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."
