‘Jeanie,’ he started again. ‘I tried not to like you.’ Mac shook his head. Dear God, that's a rough start. But Jeanie was smiling. So maybe not too rough. ‘I tried not to like you, but it was impossible because I actually like everything about you. I like how kind you are and how brave. I like how you move through the world looking for what brings you joy. ‘I never lived my life like that. But you bring me joy every day and I promise to try to do the same for you. I promise to love you with my whole heart. Forever.’
