I'd like you as a lover, but I love how we are as friends in the open," a brave text sent out of one still hoping. "But I like you too," the next reply came around late. Phew! What a relief; least for now. But what happens next, I guess is the pending question of staying up this late. _It was best to go to bed by eight..._
