"I love you." The words slipped from Diane's mouth as she leaned back into Kurt's arms. She was almost positive he was asleep, but she couldn't not say it. Diane loved him. There was no way around it. Yes, it seemed like a purely physical relationship at times, but when they spoke it all meant something. He made her feel so girlish and weak at times. The three words were perfect for that time. After a year of not seeing him, just by the way she missed him was enough to show she loved him. A slight worry was in the pit of Diane's stomach, what if he wasn't asleep? What if he heard everything and he thought she was crazy?
"I love you too." He whispered back sleepily wrapping an arm around her torso and the other under her pillow.
Diane slept easy that night. She was in love and someone was in love with her. Everything was just so right and even though something horrible was probably going to happen tomorrow, she can always have Kurt to call home.
