“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” “Because I love you.” Charlie’s eyes widened, and his lips parted. “What?” I crossed the room, unable to go another minute without touching him. I took him in my arms and kissed him deeply, cradling his face and savoring every ounce of him. “I love you so much, Charlie. I can’t even describe it. It overwhelms me in the best possible way.” Tears filled his eyes, and he wiped his thumbs over my cheeks. Apparently I’d shed a few tears of my own. “I love you too. You saved me.”
