[Now, while you have things at their most difficult. Now, when you're settling down again, and taking on responsibilities. ...And now, when only the owner of the coffee shop is present.]
And I don't want you to assume that I'm teasing you, this time! But, well... you're the spark that powers me through my life, so to speak. And if I run the chance of losing you, like I may have already... I need to tell you now that I have feelings for you.
But if this strains our friendship, I'm so sorry. I know you're focused on trying to adjust yourself to being a father, but... if I don't tell you now, you may not pick up on my hints.
