[ It helps. It really does. He's always known how Alison never says things lightly or without reason and to hear her say that she loves him over and over grounds him, settles his heart, eases the nerves he realizes now were so damn taut.
When he lifts his face to hers he kisses her, long and fierce, his hands coming up to run through her hair because he would have let her go, if it made her happier, if that's what she needed. But she's here, and if what she says is anything to go by - and it really, really is, Alison, those vows are set in stone - he's never going to have any reason to now.
Which is why he tells her. Because she needs to know. ] I think Yancy's twigged that you told me. He looked freaked earlier. I think he saw that I didn't have my ring.
[ It's still there, on the chain beneath his shirt. He'd take it out now but he and Ali - they still need to talk. To sort this out right and proper and then there's Yancy to consider. ]
