"This…"
She stopped, unable to find the words that expressed her thoughts and feelings in a certain amount of accuracy. Her stomach was doing backflips (if that could actually happen, she had no idea) and her brain couldn't contain any capacity of anything. She was utterly speechless.
So was everyone else.
He stared up at her, eyes twinkling and shining in the light of a full moon.
"I told you I'd be the one to leave you tongue-tied."
She echoed his laugh, and nodded somewhat violently, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Everything was just so unexpected, but her path was clear.
He reached up to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"The way you love," he began "is so unreal to me. That's why I was drawn to you, because you are the only person that makes me feel. You make me feel complete, love."
She pulled him to his feet and placed her hand on his face, closing her eyes as she drank his presence in.
Eyes still closed, she whispered in his ear.
"Always yours. I'll always be yours, Klaus."
