I took a deep breath, trying to find the words. "It's just...I don't know how to say this, but...I've been feeling really attracted to Emily lately."
She looked at me, concern etched on her face. "What's wrong?"
"Hey, can we talk?" I asked Sarah, my voice shaking slightly.
Sarah seemed to notice the change in my behavior, and she shot me a curious glance. "Is everything okay?" she asked, her voice low and concerned.
But as the evening wore on, I found myself stealing glances at Emily, watching the way she interacted with her mother, the way she smiled and laughed. I felt a sense of guilt wash over me, knowing that I was crossing a line, that I was starting to see Emily in a different light.
I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that I had hurt her. "I'm sorry," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
The next morning, I woke up feeling anxious and guilty. I knew that I had to talk to Sarah, to be honest with her about my feelings. But as I sat down to breakfast with them, I realized that I had no idea how to bring it up.
