I nod in agreement before capturing his lips, this time in a kiss of promise. A promise of a lifetime of friendship and love. Of being everything each other needs. “It’s always been us,” I whisper against his mouth. “Walking away from you was the worst thing I’ve ever done. I’ll regret that time apart and the way I hurt you for the rest of my life. And while I know I can’t change it now, I’ll make damn sure to prove it’ll never happen again.”
