Michael raised a hand to her cheek and wiped the flour away, but he didn't move away, and neither did she. She looked up at him and saw how tenderly he was looking at her.
Her heart hammered in her chest at his proximity. She saw everything there in his eyes, all open for her to see.
She was sure he saw hers as well.

Without a word she turned around and left the kitchen with words that were just at the tip of her tongue, dying to be said.
