She was clearing dishes off the table. Even when it was just the two of them, they loved to have sit-down dinners together. He got up to lean against the dining room table that looked over the kitchen, resting his head in his hands.

One step ahead, Sasha stood behind her, reaching over her shoulder to grab the medium sized container. He brought it down and placed it on the counter. She turned to face him and he rested his hands on her waist. "I love you."

She smiled and moved her head to the side, placing her hand on his chest near his heart. "I love you too."

She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him. It was soft and sweet, but still full of passion.

He held his forehead against hers. And said "I love you."
