Safe.
His hand rubs slow circles across my back.
Neither of us says anything.
We don't have to.
“I love you.”
The words slip out before I even realize I'm saying them.
He doesn't hesitate. Not even for a heartbeat.
“I love you too.”
His answer comes so quickly it steals my breath.
I look up at him. Really look.
Those impossible blue eyes are steady on mine.
Certain.
Like there isn't a single doubt in his mind.
My heart squeezes.

I worry my bottom lip between my teeth.
“This is really new.”
“It is.”
“It's happening really fast.”
“It is.”
“I don't want you thinking I'm taking advantage of you.”
His eyebrows pull together.
“What are you talking about?”
“The loan.”
I glance away.
“It's... well...”
I laugh nervously.
“You might want to rethink it.”
“What?”
“I haven't touched the money. And I don't want you thinking that's why...”
