He closed the space between us and rested his forehead on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes. I knew what he wanted me to do without him having to ask. “Cover him, lord. He isn’t perfect, but he was made for me. He is my protector, lover, my other half. I pray to you now just like I do every time he steps away from me. Allow this man to come home to me tonight and every night after. In your name, I pray. Amen.”
