You were now sitting with Ross. You had just come clean with your feelings for him and you were waiting for him to respond, hoping that he would accept your feelings and admit that he liked you as well. You hoped. That was not at all what happened. Not what happened at all. Ross looked at you for a moment, almost looking confused that you confessed your feelings to him. He took a moment before he responded to you.

“Yeah. I don’t feel the same. We’re just friends. You can accept that, right?” Ross asked calmly. He almost didn’t seem to care.
