The feeling of loving her and being loved by her welled up in him, 
and he could taste the adrenaline in the back of his throat, 
and maybe it wasn’t over, 
and maybe he could feel her hand in his again 
and hear her loud, brash voice contort itself 
into a whisper to say I-love-you 
in the very quick and quiet way that she had always said it. 
She said I love you as if it were a secret, and an immense one.
