When Forever Changes (Forever Love #1)

He presses his forehead to mine. “Did I love you enough, Gabby? Did I show you how much you mean to me? Did I tell you how you occupy my every waking thought? How much you brighten up my life just by being in it?” A sob leaves his mouth, and I wrap my arms more firmly around him.

“Did I love you enough, Gabby? Did I show you how much you mean to me? Did I tell you how you occupy my every waking thought? How much you brighten up my life just by being in it?” A sob leaves his mouth, and I wrap my arms more firmly around him.

I look into his eyes, and all I see is the boy I grew up loving. I can look behind the pallid skin and the sunken eyes that have lost their sparkle and see the boy who twirled me for hours on the dance floor at prom. The guy who carried me for miles uphill the night I sprained my ankle. The man who made sweet love to me all night long the first night we got the keys to his condo. And there are a whole host of other memories lying in the back of my mind as I look at him.

“Things happen for a reason, babe. We found each other when we were incredibly young, but there was never any doubt in my mind that you were my soul mate. I truly believe we found each other as kids for a reason—so I could experience what it’s like to love and be loved so completely in return. The joy and happiness we found in one another over our nine years together is more than a lot of people experience in an entire lifetime. You came into my life to make mine complete, Gabby. To give me that lifetime’s experience in a shorter timeframe. I believe that wholeheartedly, and it’s how I’ve made my peace with this.”
