“I’ve loved you for so long. Years, I think. I thought it would be scary to tell you, but it’s not because it’s you and me. You know me better than anyone, and you understand my broken parts and make me feel like maybe they aren’t so broken anymore. You’ve given me family and a home and more happiness than I ever thought I would have. I never want to spend another day without you. You brought me back to life, Ems. There is so much in me for you, and I want to give you everything. You and Maddy, because I love her too.”
