Couldn't Utter My Love When It Counted

She pulled him close, and he exhaled softly. I know. But I w-was l-leaving the house. You w-were mad. Needed you t-to know. Because he knew, she'd been abandoned in the past; had made that abundantly clear that night. But he also knew staying in the house wouldn't have helped either of them. They'd needed space.

He inhaled quietly, and rested his forehead against hers. I l-love you. Al-always have. He reached to tap her cheek three times, as his gaze wandered to study the ring on her hand.

Just not good with words. He murmured, reaching to tap the ring three times. D'ya like it, r-eally?
