Resolutions
Heat flared between the couple again and Severus was relishing the newfound feeling of security. He had never felt as wanted as he did with Hermione and he was flattered that she would care so much about having him around. He had not admitted his love, for he didn't think that he did love, but he knew they would be content together now.
Feeling a slight relief that Hermione seemed satisfied with his affection but not his love, Severus threw himself into their embrace, hoping to show Hermione just how much he cared about her.
There was just one problem.
It never ends, does it? ;)
