Ferdinand gulped nervously and nodded his head. He was still worried but behaved this time.
Arabella smiled and kissed him on the forehead again, letting her lips linger, wanting to show him just how important he meant to her.
[She's making my heart flutter again after making me so nervous. But this feels so good. It's so different from the other kisses we do.]
Ferdinand was blushing when she pulled away.
Arabella smiled and gazed into his eyes as she said, "All I was trying to say earlier is that, though Lobelius is indeed a place that is very dear to me, Valeria and Estrella are no longer just a foreign place to me. Because of all the memories we have made here and in Estrella. I treasure Valeria and Estrella now because of you and of the future that we planned together. They are very dear to me too. Because it is where you are, Ferdinand."
[!!!]
"..."
Ferdinand was speechless and simply stared at her wide-eyed.
