Sniffling hard, Dani listened to him talk, forehead still against his chest. When he said he still loved her, she whimpered and burrowed closer, biting her lip to keep from delightedly squeaking.
Her eyes were still streaming tears when he tipped her chin up. With anyone else, she would have growled and wiggled away instead of letting them see her cry. "Just stay? Just - " She wiped her eyes, knowing full well her mascara and eyeliner had smeared, and she couldn't help chuckling. "Racoon, I know." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before leaning in to kiss him like she used to when they were still together: slow, one hand on his chest, over his heart, the other stroking the hair at the base of his neck. If he didn't know what she wanted then, she'd blame the Skwigelf genes.
