Baby, I understand why you feel this way, and I honestly don’t blame you for wanting reassurance. I would never want you to feel like I’m trying to take advantage of your kindness or your feelings for me. You mean too much to me for that. I love you, and I want us to build this on honesty, trust, and something real. Please don’t think my hesitation means I’m hiding something from you. I’m willing to make an effort to reassure you because your feelings matter to me.
