Sophie held the small box in the palm of her right hand and stared at Cleo who was now frozen in shock.
She could not help but giggle as she observed the surprised look on her girlfriend's face.

Sophie closed her eyes and took a few seconds to gather her thoughts. It was obvious that Cleo already knew just how much she cared for her, but it was important to put it into words.
"Thank you," Sophie softly whispered as she leaned in closer and pressed her lips against Cleo's forehead.
"It's hard to even put to words just how much I love you. Every day in the Unovan Syndicate I would think about if I would ever get to see you again."
