the red-eyed jedi

miki told me last night that she's fallen in love with me.

i'm not ready to say that back to her yet- but i told her she'd made me very happy.

what the hell do i *do* that has this effect on people i date? i'm happy about it, but when someone says "i love you" and you don't say it back, there's kinda just this dead air full of tension...
