The drive home from the gallery had been long, but Charlotte was feeling upbeat. She'd sold a painting today, and was looking forward to catching up with Jack. Walking through the door, she found him at the dining table, surrounded by papers and a stack of books. He looked up, startled.

“Oh, hey,” he said, then added, with a slight hesitation, “Ich… liebe dich.”

Charlotte gasped, a hand flying to her mouth. She could feel her cheeks flush. She couldn’t stop herself from laughing with pure happiness.

"You're learning German? For me?" she exclaimed. She felt a lightness in her chest, an almost giddy feeling. He looked so shy and endearing.

She practically ran to him, throwing her arms around him.
