She was outside. She was outside, right in the backyard, only feet away.
Teddy paced the living room, trying to work up whatever courage he could to open up the door and walk out to her. His palms were sweaty. He kept wiping them on his trousers, but it didn't seem to help. He could practically feel his heart beating out of his chest.
He had been wanting to approach her for hours, if not days, maybe even years. Realizing that he was in love with her wasn't something sudden. It was gradual, something that built with each passing day until it became something so fierce he could physically feel it.
He had been waiting for so long to tell her how he felt, that standing inside while she was out there, so close, seemed absurd to him.
With one more deep breath, he opened the door and walked out into the yard.
Teddy took in the sight of Lily reading in the grass. The sun shone on her hair; her long, lean legs were spread out in front of her. Her feet were bare.
When she looked up at him and smiled, he knew she was worth the wait.
