"I told you last night I wouldn't torture you like that, so I won't," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist.
He hugged her back, feeling warmth spread across his skin from where she touched him. "Oh, Avice," he sighed quietly. "I'm so happy I have you."
He sighed when she said his name, as if he were home. His hands were lightly resting on the small of her back, and he grinned at her. "I'm holding you to that," he said easily. "You're not allowed to stop loving me. Okay?"
"Just because I just started dating you doesn't mean I don't know who you are. You're a good person."
