162 After Valentine's (9)

Noticing change in him, Sarah turned around to face him in the tub. Her legs wrapped around his waist as she observed his expression. She explained her statement, "You showed me a side of you I've never seen before, of course I will see you differently."

She could see a concern in his face, his eyes looked at her with a hint of helplessness before he lowered his head. Sarah realized that he misunderstood and that he believes she thinks less of him now. 'It's cute how sometimes he feels insecure.' Sarah felt that he has a need to be reassured. He is a man she loves unconditionally, and she wants him to know that. Sarah raised her hands and her fingers entwined with his damp hair holding his head up to face her. "I saw a man who will forget himself and break someone because he dared to touch me. I saw a man who will do anything to keep me safe. I saw a man who can be vicious to others while holding me gently."

As she spoke, his face lit up and he looked at her with admiration.
