“I’m here because it’s you, Lilah. You and me. I’m here because it’s always been you and me. Always. Even when you said you hated me. Even when you swore I

“When I kiss you, you’re going to be the last girl I kiss for the rest of my life. It was always going to be you. You’re it. You’re going to be my girl.
“No tears, princess. I’m going to need you to remember that I loved you first, and when you’re done, I’m going to love you last. Can you do that for me?”

“I’ve spent a lifetime loving you, Lilah. It was always going to be us. Even when you hated me, I loved you. Even when I thought I hated you, I loved you more.” His hand skims up my neck and grips the back of my head, and my entire body tightens with the anticipation of his next words. “I figured out a long time ago that I’d never stop loving you. I just needed you to be ready to hear it. Remember what I said . . . When I kissed you, it was going to be welcome home, I missed you. I fucking missed you so much, princess.”
