Nathael gazed at her intensely, his narrow eyes as dark as ink, like a deep, mysterious ocean, captivating anyone who looked into them.

Looking up at him with sincerity in her eyes, she said softly, “I love your eyes, your nose, your mouth. It’s like I love everything about you.”

“Do you realize that some words, once spoken, can’t be taken back?” He murmured softly, visibly touched.
