His lips were still curved into a smile when he saw her blush more than she had been, duck her head slightly, though her face was lit up with a smile of her own. It was a look like that which made his stomach flutter a little. He didn't know if that was the best way to describe it, but really, it was what he felt. "I know," he said softly, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "I just want them to know how much you mean to me."
Hearing someone say something like that, it was a pretty strong connection. It didn't matter what he was doing, even if he didn't fight, she was going to stick by him. It was a lot of commitment. "I'll always be there for you too.'
Of course almost any other thoughts disappeared when he saw the way she brightened up even more at the mention of going on vacation. "Beachy is good. Tropical. I think we're going to have plenty of options." He had been giving it thought, but he knew they were going to research together. "Only difference would be getting a visa." Which wouldn't be hard for either one of them to accomplish. "Will do plenty of this. Promise." He would hold her the entire time if he could.
