need you to stay

His words cut to her heart again and she couldn't help the tiny smile that plastered itself on her muzzle from the excitement. She buried her face in the fur on his shoulder, trying to hide the flush in her face from only herself. She couldn't believe this was happening this way. They had each finally come to a point of admitting their feelings to each other - but Liste hadn't truly done that.
It was as though they were dancing around the truth. Liste knew she was simply afraid to say it. The word invoked the fear of loss in her. It was something she had never felt - or said - about anyone. Her mind continued to question whether it was worth the risk, but she knew the answer regardless.
The ebony she-wolf found herself unable to respond to his questions. She couldn't form any words. She could only step back to meet his gaze, amber orbs full of longing. The words that did come forth in her whisper were simple, yet they explained everything better than anything else could.
I love you.
