"Take this gift from me, and know how much I love you…"
Nyrielle's whisper sent a shiver down Ashlynn's spine and for a moment, she couldn't move other than to cling tightly to her lover, relishing in the feeling of being loved and cared for. Her vision was misty with unshed tears and her heart fluttered in her chest, while a single word bubbled up from deep within her and forced its way past her lips.
"Nyri…" Ashlynn said softly as her hands tightened on the silky fabric of the other woman's robe. She wanted to say more, to add 'I love you' behind her lover's name, but the name alone carried all that and her throat was too tight with emotion to say any more.
"I love you, my darling," Nyrielle said softly as she gave Ashlynn a reassuring squeeze. "With all my heart."
