Alexandra kept her hand on his cheek, leaning into the kiss. That simple move, a grand gesture of affection, filled her with a joy of completeness, like she had never felt before. Alexandra rested her other hand on his chest. She broke the kiss after a few moments and took in a deep breath, sighing softly.

"David.."

Her name escaped his lips and it felt as if all the pain she had ever felt was gone. It washed away, as if trapped in a rainstorm. It was all she could do to keep her balance.

"You take my breath away, you make my heart race."

She dropped her arm that was on his chest, taking his hand gently in hers she placed it over her heart.
