Love (39)
He had known for some time, this was the girl he loved. When they parted, Anne's face had flushed and she ducked her head, smiling shyly as he tightened his arms around her. Circumstances had fallen into place around them, he knew Anne had been placed in his path for a reason. He was determined not to waste the opportunity. He tilted her head up again, one thumb stroking water away from her cheek.
"I'm in love, you know... " he said, gently catching her lip with his own.
She smiled at him and murmured, "Me too."
