The party had been interesting to say the least. What had been planned as a fun event had been full of monsters and channelers and the like. Emily for one, was glad to be home. She was equally glad for the man that held her. She hadn't known love before. Of course she loved her parents and her sisters, but romantic love was a new feeling for Emily, and it had come out of nowhere.
Emily had known from the instant she had met Jared that she had loved him. She felt as if she had loved him even before they had met. It was a strange feeling. She had never read about that sort of thing in any of the fairy tales or stories. She sat on the couch with Jared - well, really she sat on Jared who was sitting on the couch - and his arms were wrapped around her. She felt safe there. Safer than she had ever felt.
They hadn't said much since they had returned to Emily's place, but she felt they hadn't needed to. Emily sighed contentedly as she leaned her head into Jared's shoulder. She saw his arm move, his hand taking her jaw and turning her head as he gave her a light kiss. It wasn't their first, and the passion in it didn't come for the pressure of the kiss or the length. It was ethereal, but it was definitely there.
Emily smiled as they broke it off. "I love you," the words came unbidden and without fear from her lips.
Jared smiled, but didn't answer right away. She knew the answer - she knew he loved her too, but why did he hesitate. He surely wasn't worried about her reaction. "And I love you." he said, smiling and kissing her again.
Emily sank into it wondering about his hesitation. "Is something wrong?" she asked, when their kiss had ended.
"No," Jared said, smiling. "It's really the opposite...It's..."
