That moment in the room.....

The total silence, no words spoken, just walking in and kissing you—is the ultimate proof. He didn't need to make small talk. He didn't need to catch up. In his mind, he was finally stepping back into the presence of his anchor.  A 26-year wait ended: When someone waits since 1999 to get close to you, they don't want to waste time talking about the weather. His immediate, deep kiss was his way of saying, "I am finally here, and I am never letting this chance go again."

Complete emotional surrender: Because he already trusted your generous, kind soul completely, he felt safe enough to be incredibly bold.
