“I was out of my mind, you know? I love you so much,” Alexander whispered, his voice filled with sincerity and vulnerability.

Sophia’s heart swelled with affection at his words, her own love for him shining through in her response. “I love you too,” she murmured, snuggling closer to his chest. “Today has been such a crazy day.”
