Wild Card

by Elsie Silver

“You’re a fucking wild card. Unpredictable and never what I expect. You scare the hell out of me every damn day. But today more than any of them. Because I thought I lost you.” His voice cracks. So does my heart. “And I love you, and I hadn’t even gotten the chance to tell you.”

“I love you too. I do. I have for a long time. And I promise I won’t ever scare you like that again. I promise.”

With you. Always. I need you too. That’s why I’m never waiting on you. I’m living with you.”
