Freddie stopped to listen to Armaan when he was speaking, not trying to turn towards supplying food or anything else, just listening. Armaan was in such an emotionally vulnerable state, that this admission of love had found its way out seemingly almost unbidden, and it was so touching in its honesty. Freddie smiled, and held on to Armaan as he leaned forward to kiss him gently. "I love you too," he said, simply and truthfully. And honestly, it was so easy to fall in love with Armaan.
