“Summer, there are a lot of things that I owe to you. You taught me what it means to be a partner—to love and to be loved. You’ve made me a better friend, a better brother, a better son. You’ve made me more patient and more forgiving. I know it’s only been eight months, but I feel like I’ve done more living in those eight months than I did in the eight years before. You woke me up, Sum”—he grins here—“both literally and figuratively, and I would love to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Will you marry me?”
