Neil looked into Edith's gaze and found that he was could not look away. With no other way to tell her how those simple words made him feel, Neil then leaned to capture her lips into a gentle kiss.

Because of the words Edith had said, the two of them ended up staying a few more minutes in the bedroom and fooled around until Hazel came knocking on their door to remind them about the movie they were going to watch.
