She smiled a bit and wiped the few tears left in her eyes. "I love you too." Something shifted within her at that moment that she couldn't explain. Nor was she in any state to look at it too closely. Nell looked down at her hands. "Can you forgive me? For being such a girl?"
He couldn't help but beam at her as she said those words again. His gaze followed hers to her hands and his hand moved slightly to touch hers. "There's nothing to forgive." He kissed her cheek gently and rested his head against hers. "You're my girl and I wouldn't have you any other way."
