He squeezed her tighter to him. “Have I told you today how much I love you?”
“Yes. But tell me again.”
The corners of his mouth turned down as he stared into her eyes, the green and brown with a golden ring around the iris, reminding him of the color-changing sapphire on her finger. He lifted his head, taking in the newly planted grapevines and the old Victorian house beyond.
His stare made its way back to her eyes, his throat tight with emotion. “You’ve given me everything, Tori. More than I even knew I could want. Do you get that? I didn’t even know people could be this happy. Every time you walk by me and I smile just to know you’re there, or you talk to me, or you curl up next to me in your sleep.” He ran his finger down her cheek, feeling the softness there. “I treasure you, Tori. You’re more important, more valuable to me, than anything or anyone else in this life.”
Tori’s eyes were shiny, and she wiped at one with the back of her hand. “I’m going to get my ugly cry going if you keep this up. You’re going a little overboard with this ‘expressing your love’ thing.” She laughed and bit her lip. “I love you, too.”
“That’s it? That’s all I get?”
She laughed. “No, silly. You get me.”
Jed tightened his arms around her middle, pulling her willing body against him and kissing her neck, then her cheek, then her lips. “Then I am one happy man.”
