Leanne smiles at his response to her suggestion. She goes to sit in his lap to fully accept the cuddling. "Yes, spending the day with you and whatever you wish to do."

And there is his purring which she nearly melts a little. She goes to ruffle his hair and kissing him over and over at the purr. "Yes, we can make it. I love your purr, it makes you so much more handsome and beautiful."

She blushes before having some happy tears. "I love you too, you have wholly captured my heart."
