James decides to lead with the truth, even if it ruins everything, "I like you. I like your gentle silence, and your thoughtful gaze as you look up at the stars for answers. I like the way you fiddle with your rings, and mutter expressions I don’t understand in French. I can't explain why, but everything about you brings me comfort. I want you in any way I can get, and if this is all you can give me, then I will greedily accept it."
