It's truer than anything he's ever told her and as much as it makes her heart ache to suddenly see him so frightened, there's another part of her just as eager to reassure him. She's been keeping so many shameful words tucked away in her heart for all this time and now she doesn't have any choice but to let them pour out of her. ]

[ Her chin dips down and she lifts his hand just enough to press a kiss to his palm. He'd been so careful with her heart that of course she'll do the same in return. ]
