Well she was only mimicking him! Sort of. She giggled at his response, and as he leaned in closer to her, she shifted her arms to wrap behind his neck, "It is," she agreed with a grin, "I could spend an eternity in y our arms, just like this," she added with a soft smile. And since he was rather close to her as it was, she tilted her head just so, and placed a kiss on the tip of his nose.

Though her teasing giggle ended with a perfectly sincere, "I love you; I missed you so much," as she pressed numerous affectionate kisses on various parts of his face; starting with his forehead, then his cheeks, the corners of his mouth, and then his lips. Where he would feel the tip of her tongue tentatively brushing against his mouth as she lingered.
