“I’m happy I’ll be with you for now Dex,” she whispered against my ear. I knew then I was bonded to her forever in the purest and most obsessive way. I could feel how I gravitated toward her, how everything I shouldn’t be doing with her still felt completely right. Through trauma, through hell and back, through warring with my own emotions and coming out bloody and bruised, I knew there was no way I would ever let her go again. I just had to convince her of that. It wouldn’t be only for now, like she said. It would be forever.
