I didn’t say it when you mentioned it, too soon and all, but we believe that a joined couple signifies true love, and I’ve come to believe that.” My mouth’s a desert it’s so dry, but I know there’s one more question to ask, one more thing that’ll push us to where we’re supposed to be. “How do you know?” He spreads his fingers and threads them through mine again. His gaze is on our hands when he says, “Because if this isn’t true love, then true love doesn’t exist.”
