Words were an integral part of your relationship. Your boyfriend Leon felt loved and gave his love in this way: with compliments, admiration and so on. Saying how beautiful you are and how much he loves you was something precious and important to him, and hearing it back was a caress to his ears.

Like now, you, just sitting and watching a film together in your arms on the couch, his gaze never straying from you as you watched the action on the screen with interest.

"God, how can you be so beautiful?" he muttered after hiding his face in the curve of your neck hugging you tightly with a silly, loving smile on his lips.
