Izzy actually smiled, one of the few times she had today at his words. They didn't exchange them often and she couldn't tell you why, but she really needed to hear them right now.
"I love you, too, Ben," she returned, turning her face up towards his, just looking at him a moment. She didn't say much, not about the things she struggled with, but the look she gave him now might have suggested how much she needed him right now.
She didn't want to dwell, though, Not on the arguments they'd been having or on the other things she didn't want to be thinking about. She never did like to dwell on the bad things and tonight was no exception, so she leaned up a little and pressed her lips to his, trying to quiet all the other thoughts in her head.
