It's not a shock, not a revelation from on high, it doesn't cause a sudden burst of euphoria. Instead, it's a slow, quiet warmth that travels out from his ribcage to settle low, like a bird nesting; because it's not a big surprise, because he knows, of course he knows, and having her say it, while wonderful, isn't a firework.

So he smiles, which is a hidden, Leon way of saying 'yes', and proceeds to pick her clear up off the floor, his arms falling to the backs of her thighs to keep her in place. There's a smirk on his face, and from this angle, it's easy to kiss along her jawline and her neck.]
