Kimber looked back up at him, wanting to tell him all of the thoughts banging around in her head. Things had been put into perspective for her in more ways than one. "I meant what I said to you," was all she managed.
Finally his hands had something to occupy themselves with, turning the book over, passing it from one hand to the other. Jeremy wasn't even aware of it all despite the fact that he was still gazing at them. It was just that he was trying so hard to figure out how to word this that he didn't actually pay attention to anything else.
"You honestly thought I wouldn't care?!" He finally replied, incredulity clearly audible in his voice, however this was rather to buy him some time than what was actually on his mind. Though, it DID hurt him a little that she apparently thought so little of him. Of course he cared.
Jeremy closed his eyes for a moment before upon reopening them he focussed his attention on Kimber again instead of the book in his hands.
"Me too." Was all he replied, a small smile playing around his lips.
