by Kate Stewart

“Still my number one fan?” “First, too. Remember that. Always and forever.”

“I hate saying this. It makes me feel weak. But sometimes I get so scared because I love him too much. I need him too much. I’ll bear whatever I have to because the alternative…I cannot live with the alternative.” I shake my head. “Not again.”

I exhale against her lips, eyes stinging, heart raw. Only she can draw this from me. It will always be her. Always.

“You’ll never have to look for my hand again.”

“they hurt my wife and almost took a piece of her, and I’m not fucking okay with that.”

“I just want you to know that I don’t remember a time when you ever let me down. When you were never really there for me when I truly needed you because you were. So, if you missed a little league game or two, it meant fuck all to me because you were there. You’re a part of the best and most significant memories I have. And if and when we have a child of our own, I hope to fucking God that I’m half the husband and father you were and are.”

“How do you do that?” “Simple, you’re my favorite book to read, Beauty.”
