"I love you," the words slip from my lips before I can think about them. I don't think we've said them before. Though maybe we have, late at night when both of us are sleepy? Or maybe we've let it slip in a more casual context.
Still, I don't think either of us has said them with such a seriously weighted situation hanging over us. Joyful, but serious all the same.
"You don't have to be sorry. I wasn't going anywhere. It was a little frustrating to wait," I admit this sheepishly, my cheeks burning up suddenly. By now on Rady we'd already be sleeping together in a much more intimate way than just side by side, and probably well toward (or even into) marriage.
"But this step, and all the steps we need to take, means a lot to me."
