Since she had already developed feelings for him, since he also wanted a serious relationship with her, and since they were destined to be together forever, she was willing to take the initiative and reveal her true feelings.
Her words made Seth stiffen, and then a wave of elation flooded through him.
He looked at her, sighing in delight. He whispered, "Clara," then swiftly captured her lips in a deep kiss.
When the kiss ended, Clara's lovely face was even more flushed, and her large eyes appeared misty.
She rested against his chest, catching her breath, while Seth held her gently. His chin brushed against the soft crown of her head as he closed his eyes, calming the passion the kiss had stirred.
The two of them snuggled together, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquil bliss.
Almost at the same time, the same thought surfaced in both their hearts: 'To be just like this, until the end of time, would be a beautiful thing indeed.'
