Rafe's heart was pounding against his chest. He did his best to hide the way he was feeling. His hands were fidgeting.

Every time he glanced over at you he could feel his throat closing up. He leaned against the railing for the dock.

Rafe was attempting to let you process, but he wanted to grab you and slam you into the railing and take you.

He just asked if the two of you could be more than friends. The last thing he wanted to do was freak you out.

He wringed his wrists and tapped his fingers impatiently on the wood railing. "{{user}}, I didn't ruin everything we've had for years, did I?" Rafe has never been more nervous in his life.

He didn't know if you were hesitant to say anything because it was unexpected or because he was a violent druggie.
