Private Player

“We have plenty of time,” she said. She was right...

“It’s not for my parents. It’s for us.”

“About you? I’ve never been so serious about anyone. You’re the person I’m meant to be with for the rest of my life. If I’m moving too fast then I’ll wait. But when I know something works, I don’t see the point in pretending otherwise.”

We work on such a fundamental level that I know in my gut we’ll be together forever. You’ll move in, or we can get a new place together if that’s better. We’ll get married and have a family. We’re a happily ever after, Madison. You know it.”

Im literally balling eyes out

He was everything I could ever want in my life and we were going to be together for the long haul. That thick hair would go grey, those beautiful green eyes would grow wrinkles around their edges, his muscles would soften and his body would slow. And I’d be there to trace every line wrinkle, and kiss him good morning every day. I knew I’d live my very best life doing so.

“Will you marry me?”

We were in love. We were married. We were forever.

“You are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.” She slid her arm around her daughter’s waist. “I’ve never thought you needed a man to make you happy, but I’ve never seen you so radiant. I know you’re a part of that, Nathan.”

“Can you believe that six months ago we both hated weddings?” “This wedding is the second-best day of my life,” I answered. “What’s the first best?” “The day you told me you loved me.”

We were in love. We were married. We were more, forever.
