Liz let out another sob as she heard those words and she rested her head back on his chest, comforted in Prompto’s assurance that he wasn’t going anywhere, she was still clinging as tight as she could to Prompto … she wasn’t sure if she was clinging to tight now.

“I … “ she started to say and then was silent, still unsure how to process her thoughts as she lay there against his chest. “I …”

She closed her eyes, trying to remember to breathe and took several deep breaths.

“I love you,” she said again, she was going to keep saying it, as many times as she could, “I …I’m so happy that you’re back, that you’re here … “

She fell silent again, those tears now falling onto Prompto’s chest as she lay there.

It was still so weird to be crying tears of joy and happiness after all this time.
