Ginny lay down next to the boy she had spent the day with. His body was warm and uncovered except for a pair of boxers.
"Ginny?" Draco asked.
"Yes, Draco?"
"Well, I just wanted to say that it was a-a wonderful day with you. Really, thank you."
"Anything for you, Draco."
There were a few moments of silence.
"Draco?"
"Yes, Ginny?"
"I want to thank you, too. You made my day wonderful. Maybe-maybe we could do this tomorrow, too…"
"The shower or the cooking?"
"Both maybe…" Ginny smiled into the covers and turned around.
"Draco?" Ginny looked into his deep gray eyes.
"Yes, Ginny?"
"I-I love you."
"So do I, Ginny, so do I."
Then both of them went to sleep, not daring to go further just yet. They, somehow, both understood that each was a precious gift, not to be used up too quickly.
