He’s trying so hard to act nonchalant after everything I told him and, once again, I find myself wondering why that makes my body seem… lighter. I make my way around my bed and step into his chest. Instantly, his arms come around me, barricading me in their safety. I tilt my chin up and we seal our lips together. Mine, thanking him. His, telling me - showing me - that my words were heard and felt and appreciated.
