"Up until then, I could pretend that your acts of kindness towards me were simply to grease the wheels of our Arrangement... but to rescue the books without me even asking... well, I really had no choice but to admit to myself my feelings for you."
He gently squeezes the fingers held between his own. "How about you? When did you know that you loved me?"
