"I love you."
Sarah turns to me, her face reddened by a deep blush. This is the first time I've said it, my arm around her, interrupting the romance movie we had been watching for some time. A cheesy show about a couple, separated by their families.
"M-M-Matthew..." She looks away, hiding her gorgeous face from me. A small silence comes between us, before I hear her mutter something back.
"What did you say?" I ask, leaning closer.
"I... I love you, too." She whispers.
We spend the night in silence. She leans her head on me, and as the movie credits start to roll in, I realize she's fallen asleep. Without disturbing her, I reach for the remote, turn off the T.V., and slowly lean down, until we're laying together, her on top of me, her head resting on my chest.
I feel my eyelids droop slowly, further and further down, until they shut completely. My arms wrap around Sarah tightly. I suddenly feel her hands cling to me.
"I love you." She says.
"I love you, too." I answer, smiling as she shifts a little.
We fall asleep.
