As the months passed, Jane's admiration for Kyle continued to grow. One day, Jane said, "Kyle, I have something to tell you." He said, "I have something to tell you, too, but I am willing to let bạn speak first." She said, "Thank you. I've been having these feelings for a while, and now I finally have the courage to say it. I tình yêu you, Kyle. I've loved bạn for the past couple of months." Kyle backed away. Jane was puzzled. "Kyle," she said, "what's wrong? Don't bạn tình yêu me, too?" He began slowly, "Jane, I...I tình yêu someone else." She cried, "What?!" He said, "I'm sorry. I thought bạn knew." She said, "It's Morgan, isn't it?!" He said, "Yes, it is. Listen, Jane, you're a nice girl and all, but...you're just...not my type." Jane was heartbroken. She said, "I don't understand. What's wrong with me?" He said, "There's nothing wrong with you. I'm just not interested in bạn romantically. I still like bạn as a friend, though." She began to cry. He said, "I'm sorry I hurt you, Jane. We can still be friends, right?" She said, "Well, I guess bạn liking me as a friend is better than bạn not liking me at all." During lunch, Jane told Paula what happened. Paula said, "I'm sorry it didn't work out, Jane." Jane said, "I know there's something wrong with me." Paula said, "Jane, there's nothing wrong with you. Maybe Kyle will come around and like bạn romantically." Jane asked, "What if he doesn't?" Paula said, "Then, you'll find someone else." Jane said, "There's nobody out there for me." Paula said, "Jane, look at me." Jane looked Paula in the eye. Paula said, "There is someone out there for you. He might come around when you're not even looking." This made Jane smile, but when she went home, she felt sad again. The tiếp theo morning, she took her Siberian Husky puppy, Shiloh, for a walk. It was Saturday and rather pleasant for October in Grand Rapids. When Jane returned home, she went back to her bedroom. She looked at Shiloh and said, "I wish bạn could talk." Shiloh jumped onto the giường and rested on her owner's lap. Jane held her beloved pup close and cried.
