“Noelle,” he began, holding my shaking hands in one of his. “This last year and a half together have been the best times of my life, and I don’t ever want them to end, baby. You’re… you’re all I’ve ever dreamed of. All I could have ever hoped for. The love I feel for you… It’s the most wonderful thing in the world. I’m so glad to share this life with you, and I want to walk the rest of it side by side, holding your hand. And I’m never letting you go, Noelle, because I wanna give you my last name and every bit of my heart that you don’t already have.”
