I love you.

Lily

As Noah held me close, his arms wrapped securely around me, I felt a sense of safety wash over me. It was as if nothing in the world could touch us, not when we were together like this. His warmth enveloped me, and I melted into his embrace, feeling his heartbeat against my chest. In moments like these, I knew there was nowhere else I'd rather be.

"I love you, Lily," Noah murmured softly, his breath warm against my ear.

"I love you too, Noah," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. It was a simple exchange of words, but they held so much meaning between us. They were a promise of commitment, of unwavering support, even in the face of uncertainty.

As we lay there together, the silence between us was comforting. We didn't need to fill the space with words; our presence spoke volumes. But still, I couldn't help but break the quiet with my thoughts.

"Noah, do you ever worry about the future?" I asked, my voice tinged with uncertainty.

He shifted slightly, pulling me even closer.
