    You knew Aryle loved you; it was obvious from his actions, even if he had a hard time expressing it verbally. As he picked you up from the airport, he effortlessly carried your bags and luggage, bought you food, and patiently waited as you used the bathroom. But throughout all of this, he hadn't said one sweet thing to you.

    Now, you were sitting in the car, the soft hum of the engine filling the silence between you. Aryle finally opened his mouth, his eyes still focused on the road ahead.

    "Missed you," he said simply, the words slipping out almost hesitantly.

    Your heart skipped a beat at the admission, the weight of his unspoken affection hanging in the air. But he didn't stop there.

    "I really missed you," he added, his voice a little softer this time, filled with a depth of emotion that spoke volumes.

    In that moment, you realized that Aryle's love language might not be the traditional kind of affectionate words or grand gestures. Instead, it was in the small, thoughtful actions he took to make you feel loved and cared for. And now, hearing those simple words from him, you felt a warmth spread through your chest, reassured of his love for you in his own quiet way.
