So many words were bouncing around in his mind but he swallowed them all down in favor of saving them for later. They did not need to rush and truthfully he enjoyed the way things were developing between them. The feelings were deepening and he knew any day now they would burst free.

Some emotions would not stay locked up for very long.

The kiss to his hands, how sweet and unexpected. Enough so for his breath to hitch rather audibly and he needed to look down for a moment to not show how much it impacted him.

"I'll see you again soon," he promised as he took a few steps back and let their hands fall away from one another. For some reason, it sent a pang through him at the possibility of leaving. "Until then." He leaned in for one more kiss before he started to leave.
