(In his embrace, she can feel his heart beating against her and it makes her own flutter. She did that. He's racing because of her. He could be holding any women in his arms right now but he's holding her. And she's the only one he's held like this. Xander was different from his father-- he could have any woman in the world and certainly, there were plenty of women in their own court willing to throw themselves at him but there was only one for him. How can she be so lucky? She wonders. It's overwhelming. She feels breathless and she gives him a small squeeze in the affirmative.
Her hold lessens as she exhales, relaxing. She needs to adjust herself some so that she isn't completely draping herself over him (please, she's still a lady) but she looks up at him, eyes bright, smiling brighter,)
I t-told you...! (Not to tease her but she can't finish it. She's laughing.
He's holding her so she can release her hold on him. Fingers delicately brushing up his neck, through his hair, cupping his face. She could stay like this forever, in his embrace. Gently, she brings him down while lifting herself up to kiss him, once on his forehead.)
I love you.
(Quietly. It's no secret that she loves him but she isn't the type to yell her feelings so easily. Her husband is the only one who needs to hear.

And again, on the mouth.)
