QUOTE : Connor,” I murmured, not sure what to say to him. We were crossing into dangerous territory, and we both knew it.<br />“I don’t think you understand how much I count on you, Abby, how much I need you, and how much I care about our friendship. You’re so important to me.”<br />I didn’t have an opportunity to respond. Before I knew what was happening, he was kissing me, and I was kissing him back, and it was everything I’d imagined it would be when I envisioned us kissing a thousand times.
