Capítulo 356: Zeke and Alicia - Part 5

Silence continued to envelop them. The only sound that could be heard was their beating hearts and their mingling breaths. Zeke's eyes, filled with unspoken emotions, searched hers for the right words. His throat worked, and then, finally, the words spilled from his lips.

"I love you," he said with raw emotion, his voice a mere murmur, yet it resonated with a power that echoed through her very soul.

Tears pooled in Alicia's eyes, shimmering with the overwhelming rush of emotions that surged within her. She reached out and cupped Zeke's face in her hands, her touch conveying all the love that swelled within her heart. Oh heavens... she couldn't explain what she felt. How... how could those three little words make someone feel like this? How could those three little words be so powerful? Or was it because she had waited for so long to hear them?
