As far as he was concerned, there were only two people in this office. He certainly hadn’t forgotten that Charles was still around, but it didn’t seem to matter anymore because the Minister was temporarily irrelevant. It was nice to see Eliora smile. He loved her smile. Would never admit as much, but he did. His own smile growing as she gave him an ultimatum.
He needed a moment or two to marinate in this moment. It was a good one.
So he took that moment or two, though his smile never faltered. James Draper did not want to say those four words, not here. He didn’t like looking soft. He didn’t want to give Charles the satisfaction. He didn’t want to admit weakness. Unfortunately, however, Eliora’s ’please’ just about destroyed any chance of not looking like an utter fool. And as such, James took a few steps towards her chair.
Still smiling (uncharacteristically and like a fool, probably), he traced her jawline with his thumb. His voice was lowered, but his words were difficult to miss.
”I love you too.”
