Katelina snuggled closer to Ezekiel, savoring the warmth of his body and the feeling of his arms around her.
"I love you," she said softly, her eyelids growing heavier with each passing second. She had a smile on her face because she was able to express her feelings for him more confidently now, not just in actions but in words. She was so grateful that, in the end, Ezekiel didn't stop looking for her despite how she forgot to find her way back to him.
"I love you too," Ezekiel replied, his voice a soothing balm to her weary soul. As they lay there, entwined in each other's embrace, Katelina felt a sense of peace and contentment she hadn't experienced in a long time. The worries and fears of the past seemed distant, overshadowed by the love and passion they shared. She drifted off to sleep, her heart full and her body completely spent.
