Remo's eyes flickered between her own, a torrent of emotions cascading through them. With a decisive pull, he drew her closer, encircling her in a tight embrace, his face nestled into her neck. Settling back against the couch, he brought her with him, her knees finding a place on either side of his hips as she reciprocated the hug.
An overwhelming surge of emotion enveloped them, creating an almost suffocating atmosphere. She hoped he sensed the sincerity behind her words and the depth of her love for him. Remo's arms remained securely wrapped around her waist, and an unspoken weight hung in the air, an inexplicable tension tightening their connection.
