His simple touches were enough to send shivers down her spine. The simple feeling of his thumb rubbing against her own felt more wonderful than she could have ever imagined. As he began to speak, his voice was clear and strong. As the words "I love you" left his lips, her smile widened and her eyes glittered even more. She had to suppress the urge to immediately respond that she loved him as well. She knew that this fact was known to him, yet she couldn't help but want to let him know again every chance she got. When he said that she was the only one, she believed him with all of her heart. At times the Marino girl might have been concerned that with the past between him and Naniko, she would have always worried about being second best. But there was a special connection between them; one that spoke right to each other's heart. They had shared their deepest and darkest secrets and had come out the other side more connected than before.
As the he spoke the last words a wave of shock washed over her. Forever? Was he asking her what she thought he was asking her? Her mouth hung open. It was what Savina had always wanted. To find someone she loved and to start a family. But when she and Kansas had found one another, she had been so happy with that alone that the other stuff had fallen to the background. Her heart beat heavily in her chest. "K-Kansas...do you mean..." The word "mate" refused to come from her tongue, a nervous hesitation that that might not be what he meant, though almost surely it was. Hot tears began to well up at the corners of her emerald eyes. Happy tears. Was this really happening? The raven fey continued to look into his face, her hands squeezing his tightly waiting for his response.
