“That’s what Dr. Patel said.”
The most beautiful smile he’d ever seen lit up her face, and she launched herself at him. His back hit the arm of the couch but he didn’t care, his arms clamping around her. She laughed, showering kisses all over his face. His heart felt like it could burst into a million pieces.
And for the first time since he’d met the love of his life, he allowed himself to really imagine his life with her.
Getting married and having children.
Growing gray hairs and traveling the world.
No matter what might fill their life, he’d be happy. Just as long as she was his.
Because whether in this life or the next, he would be hers. Always.
