Gabriel's words always brought Amelie peace of mind. Even now, when he reassured her, she couldn't help but wrap her arms around him in a warm embrace.
"Thank you," she whispered, her voice quivering. The overwhelming surge of emotions, intensified by the hormonal changes in her body, caused tears to spill down her cheeks, even though she hadn't meant to cry.
Gabriel sighed softly, holding her close as he gently patted her back. He could hear her quiet sobs. After a moment, he pulled away just enough to cup her face, his thumb brushing away her tears with care.
"You don't need to cry," he murmured, his violet eyes locking onto hers. "This is a happy occasion."
"I know." She lowered her head.
After she had calmed down, Gabriel said, "Let's sleep then."
