And she said to me in the smallest of voices, "Please keep me."

My heart literally skipped a beat and melted all in one swoop. My response was led with a smile and the words that escaped my lips to reassure her, "As long as you'll let me." A kiss to seal it and make me fall just a little more for her.

My hand went naturally on top of her heart and lightly started to pitter-pat, pitter pat. Feelings are running deep, deeper than even I realized.
