I swear this could last forever. XD I could take this and do it SO many ways. But since it's Tara, I'll do the more...unexpected way.




She stared at him, the beating of his دل strong under her hand. She looked back down at the diary in her hand, head shaking slightly. Then she giggled. Her giggle turned into laughter; not cruel یا bitter, but instead being joyful noise.
Her laughter took him سے طرف کی surprise and she pulled her hand free just long enough to اقدام the hair out of her face. She turned back to him with a smile. His blank stare had twisted to surprise. She laughed just a bit as she stood.
“You say آپ read this?”
She held up the diary and saw the surprise turn to urgency.
“Y-yes but I assure آپ it was not intentional!”
She set the book on the desk, back facing him, but he could hear the smile in her voice.
“You read it but آپ think there are only ten reasons?”
“P-pardon?”
She faced him and the smile on her face had reached her eyes.
“You read it and think there are only ten reasons as to why I love you?”
He blinked and stared at her. She came to stand infront of him, slipping her hand into his.
“You're asking me to forgive آپ for reading my love for you. And آپ know I would. But آپ have nothing to be apologizing for.”
She placed a kiss on his head before moving to sit at his side.
“I had never thought آپ would come in when I was sleeping, not that I mind. I just didn't think of that possibility. But that note was never going to be a secret. I think everyone can see it on my face when you're around.”
A light blush spread across her cheeks as she کہا that, but the smile never died from her eyes. She leaned آگے and pressed her lips against his cheek, the skin dry but smooth. She saw the surprise die away and it was replaced سے طرف کی understanding.
“And there are so many مزید reasons as to why I love. Much مزید than the ten آپ saw. But we'll get back to that later. I have a سوال for آپ first.”
She paused and her eyes, though smiling, darkened in what could have been regret. Her concern confused him but he didn't interrupt her until she had spoken what was on her mind. He didn't want her thinking her words were nothing to him, even when he just wanted to keep her in his reach forever.
“I want to know why آپ told me a few of the reasons آپ love me now. Not that I don't believe you. I do. What made آپ say that? I'm flattered, but I want to know. Did آپ think آپ had to یا what? Did what I write make آپ regret something or....convict you? Because that's the last thing I would ever want to do to you.”
She paused and let herself calm before finishing.
“I don't want آپ to lie, so please tell me. Did my words hurt you?”
Her face giving way to the pain that she would feel had she made the words come out of him for any other reason besides his love of her, for her. And the pain he saw there made him think back to the nights they were apart and he would look up to see the moon's lonely face in the black skies.
