Of the place he'll always hold for her as her teammate, as the first person to make her heart beat fast, as the first person whose smile she pinned all her hopes on...]
Sinful? I don't think so. There are a lot of people you can hold in your heart, in a lot of different ways.
And if someone drops out... then that's all right, Lee. [Even though those words make her wince, knowing he's talking about her, still twisted up enough to not want to essentially tell him it's okay to forget about her.] Let your heart move as it will, don't try to force it. Your feelings are your feelings.
