Bab 9: Chapter 9

“I love you more than I ever thought humanly possible. And I will love you to the end of my days. With every breath I have, I will honor and cherish you, protect and love you, come home to you every night, and wake up with you every morning. I promise you this.”

I know you don’t believe in love at first sight, and neither did I. But there you were, across the bar, and I knew with every fiber of my being that you were mine to love.
