Anne felt extremely touched by his words.
The more she found out how much he loved her, the more her heart soared. These past few days, being with him made her extremely happy.
Anne moved upwards to wrap her arms around his neck. It felt like nothing existed but her and him, her heartbeat with his.
Her chest swelled even more with the sweetness his words filled her with.
"I love you too, Andrew." She whispered against his neck feeling as he crushed her tightly against him. "So much." She added in a quiet whisper and she felt his mouth press firmly against her neck as he hugged her even tighter.
They hugged each other for a long time till Anne pulled backwards, feeling a lot better than she had been before he arrived.
Andrew was right, they would heal each other. He was her solace.
"I'll go see if dinner is ready." Anne said about to move away to go downstairs to the kitchen but he didn't let her go, pulling her back where she was still sitting on his lap.
