His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1926

"I've never stopped loving you," he confessed without hesitation. "When we fight, and you refuse to listen to me, I might resent you for a time, but I'll always forget about it in the end."

A lump formed in Avery's throat at his words. She wanted to say something but was not sure what to say.

"Avery, I'm not pursuing you again simply because I want to give our children a complete home. It's quite the opposite, actually."

"Say no more, Elliot.” Her eyes glittered with unshed tears, and she suppressed her urge to sob. She had a lot of questions for him, but she realized that none of them mattered any longer.

"Avery, there are a lot of things that I want to ask you, too," he said, hoping that he would die knowing all the answers he had been craving for.

"I won't ask you anything, so you shouldn't ask me any questions, either," she said. "If you think that's not fair, I can answer one question."

"Sure." Elliot considered what question he wanted to ask.

"Elliot, I love you, too." Avery did not give him time to think. "That’s the only question I'm willing to answer.”

Elliot smiled bitterly. "Avery, I wasn't going to ask if you loved me. If you do, that's naturally the best scenario I could hope for; if you don't, I will still move forward with what I've always intended to do." "This is the only answer I am willing to give, so there's no need to ask anything else." she sniffled.

"That's true. With that being said, nothing else matters." Elliot had been curious about Avery and Billy, but he realized that she was not going to answer any questions he had regarding the matter.

"Elliot, do you feel cold?" Avery panted heavily. "I feel so cold."

Noticing her panting, he pulled her into his arms. "It's quite cold here. Stay strong, Avery. Once the rescue team gets here, we will get out."
