Daphne bit down on her lip when she felt him fumbling with the clasp on her bra, thinking how cute it was that he seemed a bit nervous meaning she wasn't alone. But then he finally got it undone and she felt the material slip away, leaving her bare from the waist up. She blushed lightly but didn't cover herself despite the instinctive reaction to do so.
His words shocked her. Yet through that shock, she felt a burst of warmth flow through her. He loved her. She had wondered what it would feel like to hear those words from him, wondered if it would be him that would say them and secretly hoped it would be. And now that she knew - the feeling was indescribable.
She slid her arms around him, leaning into his warmth and smiled. "I love you too, Theo." The words came out naturally, soft yet confident. She then relaxed against him, happy that they could share those feelings finally.
