My heart warmed and my lips curved into a smile. He was facing his fears and trying to use his heart again. With me. I’d been given a crack and I’d wormed my way in. All I had to do now was hold on and let what was between us grow.
I kissed him, deep and heartfelt, giving my answer physically. I wanted to try, too, because I knew he was capable of deep and profound love, and I wanted him to find that again.
With me.
I sighed in contentment and fell into a deep, comfortable sleep.
If only every day could end like this one. It would make everything else in life bearable.
