[ Case's response is quiet but deep-felt. He can feel the sincerity of her words hit him in the gut, tightening around his heart and giving it a good squeeze.
He likes the way she's holding his hands right now, the movement of her thumbs gentle and coaxing, reassuring in a way that feels real. It's not just some nicety or her trying to convince him of something that isn't true. It is true and it's something he can believe.
And he does believe her. Of course he does. She has no reason to lie, not with him.
He meets her eyes and stares into them the way he's probably seen in countless dumb Hollywood romance films. There's no musical soundtrack, no 80's love ballad crooning in the background or anything like that, but there's a connection here; there's something here. Knowing that Chuck has lived thousands of years, more lifetimes than he can imagine, it doesn't scare him as much as he thinks it should.
This lifetime is the only one that matters to me, she said. ]

Hey, Chuck?
