Emma almost stopped kissing Ruby when she felt the girl kissing her back without a moment of hesitation. She was shocked. It was impossible, good things didn't happen to her like this. Then Ruby was placing her hands on her face and Emma pulled the brunette girl closer, deepening their kiss. She couldn't explain why, or how but she felt tears starting to trickle down her face. It was like something inside of her had broken down a damn, and she was suddenly filled with such a feeling of relief that she couldn't handle it.

She pulled away from Ruby after a few more moments had passed, still crying. Without any kind of explanation, she buried her face in the crook of the younger girl's neck, her arms wrapped around her neck. She was as close as she could get to Ruby at this point, and she was sure that she could hear the girl's heart beat. It was soothing along with the noise of the waves.

"D-did you mean it?" She managed to choke out after a few minutes.
