[She chews her lip and looks down at her fingers, which are twisting together nervously. It's not like this is terribly difficult for her to admit, but it's the other half of this that's new. The part where she, to be quite honest, lets herself have a chance at a normal life. The part that's still plagued with guilt despite what she parts her lips to say next.]
I love you. I could've written that, but I think you know that by now. And if I tried to explain it in any other words... I did try to explain it but it just... didn't work out. It sounds so stupid and cliche and I'm sorry... it's just that you mean so much to me. [She glances up, face pale at first but tinging with colour.] There aren't any words for how much. And so tonight I just wanted to tell you that, and that... I'd like to keep loving you as long as I can. Wherever that goes.
