“Letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life, and it’s over. It’s finally over.” Pressing my body to his was not close enough. I needed more. “What’s over?” Swallowing back the tears, I whispered, “The agony of losing you. From walking away from the love of my life.” Austin pulled back while I held on to him and took my face in his hands. His thumbs brushed away the moisture from my eyes. “Let it go, sweetheart. Our past has made this moment even sweeter. Just let me love you for the rest of our lives.”
