"I love it," she confirmed, her eyes sparkling almost as much as the diamonds in the necklace as she leaned in to softly kiss him. She should be used to this kind of thing from Jeremy, but no matter how many times he showered her with gifts like these, it was always a happy surprise.
"I love you," she added, her tone a little softer as she pulled back to look him in the eyes, her hand brushing lovingly over his cheek. As nice as these moments always were, it felt even nicer this year, now that they were together.
"Merry Christmas, Jer," she whispered, brushing her lips over his again, clearly completely happy right now. This - just waking up with him on Christmas day - was the best gift she could have imagined.
