He held you close while you sat on his lap. He played with your hair, twirling it in-between his fingers.

"I don't believe I've ever said those three words everyone adores so much,"

He mumbled, looking into your eyes.

"I bet you like then too, don't you darling?"

He asked, letting go of the strands of hair in his fingers. He saw that sparkle of hope in your eyes and smirked.

"I'll say them, but only for you: I love you."

He said with the sweetest tone he could muster.
