She stands up and comes over to me, not looking joyful at the prospect. Guess she could have said no, though. She knows I wouldn't force anything on her. Slips her arms around me quick and light, and oh, I'd forgotten how soft and warm she is, where her cheek rests on my chest, how she fits.
Don't keep her longer than she wants to stay, but I do bend my head to drop a light kiss on her hair. "I do l-love you, you know." And there, easy to say once it's said, not thought over too much. And isn't that what she wanted from me before? Isn't that what you say to someone who's maybe mostly your girlfriend if you can just manage not to screw up this time, when she's feeling low over something you said? That's right, isn't it?

Anyway, it's true.
