“Love isn’t about what you have to offer; it’s about who you are.” I pulled her closer, tipping her chin up until she locked eyes with me in the dim light. “You’re worthy of love.” I leaned down and kissed her. Kristin’s lips were soft and supple. “All five of you. And before you say it’s too soon, let me tell you something, Sunshine. People are too stingy with saying I love you. There’s nothing mature or enlightened about withholding love and not telling someone how you feel. The only person who loses out is you because you don’t get their love in return.”
