Hiya,
I am wondering if a comma is needed after 'I love you' in English - American fiction writing.
Context:
Chantel strokes his cheek, “You’re sure? I’m so sorry you’re going through this,” she says softly, “I would do anything to take this pain away, but since I can’t, I will hold you and be there, no matter what, to do anything you need.”
Shawn smiles at her, “It’s not too bad, it’s just when I think about things with mom sometimes. I love you, though. I’d like to have another baby with you. We can hold each other, always.”
Thank you
