[ Her expression softens at what he says. No laughter, no judgement, only a gentle stare. She remembers feeling something similar before. That somehow, someway, they were supposed to meet and be together. The concept faded over the last two years. Hearing him say it again seems to spark something inside her. Something she honestly thought she had lost along side Polaris.
Still, she doesn't push against him. She holds back enough.
Jesse shivers in his hands. ]
I love you.
[ The statement comes rushing from her, whispered to his lips, almost as if she is afraid that someone else may hear it. It's said as a statement and answer to both things. What else can she say? What else should she say? Words are his territory. Not hers.
It may not even matter it's the first time she's said it.
It does feel right. Just like Polaris and knowing what happened in Ordinary feels right. Real. Being with him makes sense. Part of her mind still doesn't understand how any of that can be possible. They had barely known each other, barely had a relationship. Yet, every time she wonders, all that comes to mind is the memory of what the other Alan had said on the phone.

They have a connection.
Lips brush against his to entice another kiss. ]
