She drew in a breath, exhaled, forced time to start again. She couldn't sit there with her mouth hanging open and stare at him like a deer in headlights, she had to say something. Stop being a coward. Just stop. Cowboy up. "Julian..." She trailed off, swallowed hard and tried again. Get it out, get something out. "Julian, I...do."
