"I made you talk about the past." Stella replied to him in a meek voice.
Adam could feel the wetness of her tears in the crook of his neck. He softly patted the top of her. "You made me play again. That is what matters more."
"I love you." Stella muttered under her breath.
"I love you too baby girl. Now stop with the crying. You know seeing you like this hurts me so much." Adam added as he tightened his hold around her.
