The question itself, didn’t take him by surprise. It wasn’t the first time, hearing about those, after all. His intention was to tease her a bit, but regretted the thought inmediately, when he turned around to face her. Just by seeing that certain glint of curiosity mixed with doubt, made him swallow hard. She was a hundred per cent serious. Laughing or mocking her with a grin, wouldn’t work this time. Thinking carefully his actions, the size of his intended smile formed itself on his lips less wide, while his steps got closer to her petite figure with both of his hands grabbing her right one, gently . Lifting it a bit, his thumb stroked it softly by its sides, letting out with almost a sigh “Do you even have to ask ?” he finally confesses, leaning to kiss the back of her fingers. “I love you very, very much.”
