"I guess this is it for a few months." Lilly looked down at the ground.
"Lilly. Please, don't be sad. It kills me when I see you like that." He raised her chin up to look into her eyes, "I won't fall for some other girl. I promise."

He's never said he loves me before. I better not faint. Come on, Lilly.
"Can you say that again?"
"Lilly, I love you."
"I love you too." Lilly said, hugging him while lifting her heel. Normally, she wouldn't do something like that, but she felt it was the opportune moment when someone said the words. Kevin picked her up and kissed her passionately.
"Get a damn room!" Joe yelled. Lilly saw Kevin wave them off with his hand, for a second he thought he flipped them off. Lilly slowly disconnected her lips.
"We're getting on the bus, Kev! Wrap it up!" Joe yelled.
"I love you." She whispered.

"Are they walking to the dressing room so it'll take, like, 10 minutes or did they already go in there so it'll only be—"
"Lilly!"
"Huh?"
"Do you hear yourself? You breathe Kevin!" Miley laughed.
"Pshh. No, I don't. I have plenty of other things to do while you guys are touring and---ah, forget it. I'm desperate."
