[ Lest she think that he is forgetting that his duty in this moment is caring for her, he is quick to put to one side all of the things that he fears so that he might return to focusing fully upon her. Their hands are joined together or he would brush aside the tears that roll down the sides of her face. When he smiles, it is a wide and bright smile that causes his eyes to light up, and he nods his approval. ]

He cannot help but feel that this is one occasion in which he would rather not stand on ceremony, but perhaps he should not be so rash.

But regardless of whether he wears it now or later, the love he has for her grows by leaps and bounds every day, and he is certain she can see it in his gaze even now. ]
