He looked at her as she curled around him, smiling. Could he... say it back? Could he show her that he was willing to even put aside his pride for her? .....Yes. Yes he could. He would never say it to anyone else, hadn't even to his own damn brother. She was special. She was something to be cherished and loved, even if Jack was terrible at showing it. He gave her eye contact, tail stopping it's rapid movements. He'd say it sincerely.

"I love you, too, Sayre."
