“I love you,” I finally tell him. He rolls toward me again, takes both my hands and puts them on his chest. “You’re the first girl I’ve ever loved.” “You love me?” Beneath my palms, I feel his heart beating as fast as mine. His hand slides along my cheek and tucks my hair behind my ear. Inching closer, he presses his lips against mine, murmuring, “I love you, Aurelia.” Another kiss. “I love you so much.”
