"Me too," He trailed off, vision finally focusing in and the man managing a small and pained smile once he saw her face. "Dang you're pretty,"
|
|  |
|
|

|
"I doubt that after you nearly died on me..."
|
|  |
|

|
"No no," He paused, vision finally going back to usual as he reached up and cupped her face with a hand. "you're just gorgeous."

"Just like me?" she teased softly, watching him carefully as his body tensed before relaxing once more. She moved her free hand to run through his hair, the smile turning softer on her face

"Did I say like? No, I defanitely said love. Maybe you just have a hearing issue or i'm going insane, probably the second option but eh, I don't know." He teased, leaning into her touch slightly.
