Jacob made his way down the corridor; his nerves just making his heart race and his stomach churn, but he was determined to go through with his plan. He kept looking up and down the hallway; luckily no one was there, one last check and he made his way quickly to Mor'an's door.

How can I communicate these feelings?
for whenever I am around you
my heart beats, races and stops."
