The years melted away. Valiant pursued her with a dogged, single-minded energy, none of his usual misgivings able to penetrate this tunnel vision. His heart may well as have never been broken, never known loneliness, never forgot how it was meant to be used.
He teased them both, the way that they always seemed to play, each pretending contention that did not truly exist between them. It was not fight for dominance so much as it was affection — tracing the curve of her mind with the same relish as when he drew the curve of her hip with his nose. Cherishing, marveling at her wit and her mettle in a way that, for a while, felt as intimate as fitting her back to his chest.
He didn't say it. Not yet. But every move he made thrummed with the strength of a promise and the vulnerability of a confession.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
