“Justin,” he began. “The last two and a half years have been a helluva road we’ve travelled. Some would call it hell, and some wouldn’t have survived. But not us. We’ve come out better, stronger. Because steel has to go through fire to come out stronger.” He let out a shaky breath. “Every day with you is a gift, and I promise to cherish you always. I will never take you for granted, not for a single second. I love you, Juss. Always have, always will. And I am proud to call you my husband.”
