---- She was just about to respond when Jimmy spoke again "After west met, I actually gave a lot of thought to what I told you. At the time, even I thought it was just a moment of impulse." "But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn''t impulsive at all. I had already developed feelings for you without even realizing it. What I said that day-those were the truest thoughts buried deep inside me.


    I really do like you." Maggie had already guessed the purpose of his call when she saw his name on the screen. But she hadn''t expected him to say this much. Jimmy''s voice was steady, calm, and sincere. He spoke with the conviction of someone who had thought long and hard before making a decision. Before she could respond, he continued, "Last time you said you''d been married. Been married, not are married.


    Can I take that to mean there are problems in your marriage, or that maybe you''re already divorced? So-could you tell me your current marital status?" There was no pressure in his tone, and when he asked thisst ---- question, his voice was even tinged with a gentle warmth. Jimmy had always made a good impression on her. He was respectful and earnest, asking only for rity. Maggie had never been someone who could turn away from sincerity with cruelty.


    She answered truthfully, "I just filed for divorce today, but it''s not finalized yet." "You have to wait out the cooling-off period before it bes official?" "Yeah." Jimmy chuckled. "Then it looks like I''ve got pretty good timing." "It''s not that..." Maggie grew even more flustered. After saying that softly, she added, "Thank you for liking me, but I=" "I know." Jimmy gently cut her off. Even his interruptions were soft. "I know what you''re trying to say.


    You don''t want to jump into a new rtionship so soon. Maybe you''ve never even considered me that ---- way. In fact, you probably don''t have any feelings for me at all right now: Every word hit the nail on the head. Maggie was momentarily speechless. Then Jimmy''s voice came through the phone again "I understand all of that. But I don''t mind. I can wait." Maggie snapped back to her senses. She thought of Isabe and was about to mention her child, but once again, Jimmy beat her to it.


    "You said you''ve been married. So I figured you might also have a child. I''ve thought about that, too. And my answer is still the same." "That''s why-I hope I can be the first in line to pursue you. And if you ever decide to start a new rtionship after your divorce, I hope I''ll be the first one you consider." Maggie had been confessed to by many people in her life. But never like this. She still hadn''t responded when Jimmy''s voice came again, warm as ever. ---- "Where are you right now?


    Have you eaten? I just got back into the city. Can I invite you dinner?"
