Michael's heart was beating quite fast at the moment because he could not help but be a bit unsure and worried about what Anthony thought of his journal. He hoped that Anthony had not reconsidered telling him he loved him a few nights back and that that was the reason he did not reply. He was hiding his anxious self by caressing Anthony's face.

Hearing him say he did love him made him feel a bit better but with the way he was saying it and how he was acting Michael knew he was hiding something. "That is a relief to hear you say that. When you didn't reply to my journal I..I thought that you decided you didn't love me." he murmured and sighed, feeling bad about thinking such a thing.
