B: Beautiful
It's a word he uses a lot when she's around. Mostly because she is. It started in high school as a way of convincing her that she was worth being loved, and it has transpired into something so much more.
When he says she's beautiful, it's the same as saying he loves her. They've both come to realize that. He will say that's she's beautiful at four in the morning, after hours of sex, when her hair looks like a bird's nest, and her make-up is smudged beyond recognition.
He will tell her that she's beautiful when she's eight months pregnant and crying on the bedroom floor because she doesn't have a damn thing to wear.
He will tell her that she's beautiful when she's forty, and they have three kids, and she is so run down from rehearsals, and chauffeuring, and cooking, and cleaning, that she can barely see straight.
The first time he called her beautiful she was sixteen, and it meant something different because he was dating another girl. The last time he calls her beautiful she will realize that it has always meant the same thing. Quinn or no Quinn it has always meant that he loves her.
AN: Yep, I went there. Feedback is love :).
