“I’m sorry, I don’t want to scare you.” Max mumbled. He took a deep tired breath, lightly kissing the crown of her head. “I love you.” He nuzzled into her head, and with another deep labored sigh he slept.
Rowena on the other hand, had never been more awake. She could have almost not heard it, muffled as it had been by her hair, but there was no missing those three little words. Three such tiny words but with such huge significance that it took several seconds for Rowena to realise she'd stopped breathing. She finally took a deep shuddering breath, and slowly removed herself from Max's embrace.
When she was finally standing up, she looked down at his peaceful, unassuming face and sighed heavily. She really hoped he didn't remember saying that when he woke up. She really didn't know what to say in return. Thanks? I like you too? Merlin, what a complete mess. Speaking of messes, she had a Potions Master to see. With one last lingering, confused look at Max, she left the room, tucking his latest revelation away for future consideration.
