Finding reassurance

Aug 14, 2005 03:48

Spending time with Willow had really helped calm my fears, fears I didn't know I had until Wesley and Riley left to find Connor and Dawn. Everything that had happened seemed so real still. It was almost like, if I closed my eyes I could still see it, and feel it... Angel...us holding me down, trying to kiss me, Cordelia laughing, and Willow... ( Read more... )

And then... and then he said the three words I never thought he'd say because... I didn't even know why I thought that...

...I love you...I held my breath, trying to take the moment in. My lips curled into a small smile. I couldn't help but think that Willow was right about everything we talked about. And the funny thing was... I felt better knowing how he felt about me, truly knowing, instead of guessing about all the time. And how could I have missed all of the signals before?
