Bill closed his eyes for just a moment as she kissed him, leaning up just a little from his comfortable a position to give a little in return. When she pulled away, he met her eyes with a firm look, cupping the side of her face with his large hand. "You were the only person I'd met in years other than my sister who treated me like a human being," he said, sternly. "If I didn't have any other reason to love you, that would be enough."
He pressed his forehead gently to hers. It was too early in the morning for such talk.
