This isn't the first time he's heard the words, but after everything that's happened since he last heard them, it's like he's hearing them again for the first time. The kiss helped carry home the message. When her lips pull way from his, a smile can be found on his lips.

"After everything that's happened, I wasn't sure if I'd ever hear those words again. I told myself I shouldn't expect to hear them or want to hear them. But now that I've heard them, I know I will always carry them around with me."

Their faces are still close to each other, so it's easy enough for him to lean forward and resume their kiss. In between their kisses he murmurs a few words. The words are difficult to make out because they are spoken in a soft, but they sound like something along the lines of "Sometimes this all feels like a dream." But it's better than any dream because while their time together has been anything but perfect, it's real and he's been able to create new memories with her.
