You blinked, pausing mid-sip of your smoothie. "What?"

Logan groaned, running a hand through his hair. "That came out wrong." He took a deep breath, forcing himself to look you in the eyes. "What I meant to say is… I like you. A lot. And I think—no, I know—that we’d make a great couple. Scientifically speaking, of course."
