I’ve said this multiple times, but I have to say it again. I am deeply in love with you. Every moment spent with you fills me with joy and happiness. You bring a light into my life that I never knew was missing. I may have been blind to my feelings in the past, but now it’s crystal clear to me that I need you. You complete me in a way that no one else ever could. I love you, Ariel. With all my heart and soul.” Now, I was gazing into Luke’s eyes, and his lovely, romantic words washed over me, causing me to smile. It was as if he knew exactly the right things to say to make my heart flutter. But at that moment, I also had to admit to myself that I wanted him, too. I had been trying to deny my feelings; I just didn’t want to get back to him for some reason, but his sincere words broke down my walls. I couldn’t help but feel a rush of happiness and a sense of vulnerability. It was a beautiful and scary realization that I couldn’t hold any longer. Luke had finally captured my heart with his words and his wonderful actions. Now, I was ready to let him in. “Luke,” I spoke his name softly, placing my hand on both of his cheeks. And the both of us gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, with the passion right there.” You’ve done so much. I really appreciate that.” Luke held my waist, and his touch sent shivers down my spine. I could feel the intensity of his gaze as he looked deeply into my eyes. At this moment, I could see the passion burning brightly in his eyes, and I was completely drawn in by it. It was flaunting all the love and desire right there, in front of me, in his gaze. I felt my heart skip a beat as I gazed back at him, completely lost in the moment. His touch and his eyes told me everything I needed to know without a single word being spoken again. Indeed, he was truly in love. Well, that was really clear. I leaned in closer to Luke, and I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin. It was a comforting sensation, making me feel even closer to him. Our faces were only inches apart now, and I could see the faint freckles scattered across his nose. His warm breath tickled my face, sending shivers down my spine. I couldn’t help but smile as I took in his familiar scent, a mixture of cologne and mint. I closed my eyes and savored the moment, feeling completely at ease in his presence. “Ariel, I love you so much,” he whispered. “I’ll keep on saying this. Because I want to be with you.” I smiled. “I want to be with you, too.”
