She's getting the message right now. Not that hearing the words wouldn't be good but it's not something she needs. Not as long as he's here. She kisses him back, not desperately this time but reaffirming the words he can't say. She tries to slow it down a little, promising him all the time they can steal.

If she can just hold onto this, hold onto the knowledge, the feeling and help him hold onto it as well, she won't hate that he has to leave. She won't like it but she won't hate it either.
