For a moment, as he stood there in silence, Tonks wondered if she had done something wrong by spilling her heart out like that. She'd never told anyone that before, because she'd never felt like this before about anyone. Not until Remus. For a split second she was almost afraid that he didn't feel the same way...
But that was stupid, and she realized it the moment she looked into his eyes; saw his emotions and the trace of tears. She could see it in his gaze even before he spoke, but it was the words that made her heart race. She didn't even care that he'd called her Nymphadora. When he said it, the name actually sounded good. Her lips curved up in a warm and happy smile as she replied, "Oh. Well that's good." Her words were almost playful, but she was all seriousness as she leaned in and pressed her lips to his in a sweet kiss. He loved her. Remus Lupin loved her.
