“True, but I promise there are lots of benefits to living with me.” He waggles his eyebrows.
“Oh, I know, that’s why I agreed to it,” I deadpan.
He chuckles, and I feel it in my very soul.
I squeeze his hand. “But I do have one nonsexual requirement?”
“What is it, BB?
“I still expect letters and snacks waiting on me every now and again.”
“That was always on the table. I won’t stop doing that until I can’t walk anymore, and by then, hopefully, we’ll have a couple kids I can make do it.”
“Aw, you planning our future already, babe?”
He raises our clasped hands and kisses the back of mine. “BB, since the moment I had you back in my arms, I knew I was never letting you go. You’re my future.”
And just like every other time this gorgeous man speaks to me like this, my heart soars. I love him with everything that I am and can’t wait to face the days to come with him by my side
