He chuckles, the sound reverberating in his chest, and smiles against her mouth.

"I wasn't talking about your wardrobe. You, Karen, you're beautiful." She's strong and confident, and kind. Daring and fearless in her own way.

Shifting on the bed he rolls onto his back and draws her with him so that he can hold her close and run fingers through her hair.

"You inspire me, and I just-- feel lucky to be around you."

That said he leans in to kiss her again, his lips parting when they meet hers.
