My heart thuds in my chest as warmth spills through my limbs, its truth as vital to my existence as the blood swimming in my veins: I love her. I know my heart. With every step I take closer to her deepening smile, her glittering eyes, I feel sure of it: Tallulah knows my heart, too. And I know hers just as much. The wind dances past me, swaying the grass. I love you. My smile deepens as I grow closer, holding her eyes. I love you.
