I couldn’t guarantee that Asher wouldn’t revert to his old habits down the road, but I trusted him. I saw the conviction in his eyes and heard it in his voice. Even if I hadn’t, the fact he was willing to give up his beloved car collection told me everything I needed to know. Plus, if there was one thing I’d learned over the past four months, it was the importance of showing grace—both to myself and to others. We couldn’t change the past. We could only shape the future, and I wanted a future with him. Together.
