[It seems almost absurd that the light press of Zel's thumb against Emery's foot should be enough to rouse that flicker of heat, but gods it does. Maybe it's the anticipation, maybe it's the emotions already roused by their confessions, but it's like the first sparks struck off a flint.
Emery hesitates for a half-second, then sighs.]
I love you.
[No reason not to say it now, whenever he has the impulse.]
