Briefly, Cassie closed her eyes and leaned into the touch, loving the feel of his fingers as they swept curled golden strands from her face. Already, the witch was feeling calmer and more at peace. The idea that their love had been a curse at all or that Jake could have died suddenly seemed impossible and foolish. He was right; how could their love be wrong?
Her eyes opened and she looked at him with a small smile. "Of course you can!" she exclaimed softly and took his hand and squeezed it tightly in her own. His words made a slight flush heat up her cheeks. To make sure she was safe, he would stay. It was adorable; it was cute. The fact that despite her being able to take care of herself should someone attack her he wanted to still protect her was touching and it almost made her break down again. Instead, she leaned up on tiptoes and kissed him again, briefly.
"Thank you, Adam. I don't know-I don't know what I would do without you", she said softly.
