Clasping her chin, I kiss her cheek, the other, then her forehead, "I love you, you know that, right?"
Seeing the weight being lifted off her chest. The way those three words are words, she knows matter-of-fact. She knows, without a doubt, I love her. It doesn't ease the pain going through her right now, but it does ease me knowing she at least knows that I do love her.
"I've never doubted that D. I love you too."
"Good, then trust me when I say this will all work out."
I can tell by the look in her eyes she wants to believe me but doesn't. Don't blame her because it's almost impossible to guarantee, but I can feel it in my bones. Everything will be okay; it needs to be.
