“I love you. It’s okay. I love you, I love you, I love you…”
“He didn’t push you away.”
“He held you closer, so close I don’t know how he didn’t leave bruises.”
All I feel is the boy in my arms—my boy. My guy. My man. The one who’s been there all along, waiting for me—and all I can do is pray that I’m not too late. Please, please, please don’t let me be too late.
See, Will, see. See this heart in my chest. See how it flies for you.
See, Will, see how I fly for you.
“Well too fucking bad,” I murmur. “You are loved. And I’m not better off without you.”
“And I’d rather feel this burden of knowing and loving you than go even a second without you existing somewhere on this planet.”
“You’re a ticking time bomb,” I hear myself say, my voice distant even to my own ears. “One that just keeps fucking rebuilding itself after every explosion, over and over and over again. But I don’t. I don’t rebuild. I don’t heal. I just keep taking it. But I can’t anymore. There’s not enough left of me to take any more shrapnel and walk out alive.”

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, City Boy. Sorry it took me so long to tell you.”
He’s the beat of my fucking heart. And that? That’s everything.

“You’re such a fucking dick.”
“You love it. Don’t lie.”
“I like myself a whole lot better when I’m with you.”
“Yeah, City Boy. You heard me.”
“You didn’t make anything worse, Will,”
“You woke me up, that’s all. You brought me back to life.”
“God, you’ve ruined everything, City Boy. You’ve ruined me.”
“Every time I look at you, I’m ruined.”
“Don’t for one second think you make my life worse,”
“You are the best fucking thing that’s ever happened to me, and I wouldn’t trade even a second of it for anyone or anything.”
“I love you.”
“I am stupidly, insanely in love with you.”
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry I gave up.”
“No more running.”
His eyes brighten, and his dimples sink in deeper than they have all morning as he gives me a blinding smile.

“So long as I have the will to live…”
“There’ll always be a way.”

“Just like that Harry guy you used to be obsessed with. From that boy band… something, something Direction.”
I’m crying 😂
“You called me your boyfriend.”
“Oh shit. I did, didn’t I?”
“Uh huh.”
“Oops?”
“Is that what we are?”
There’s my sunshine.
