“Not crazy at all, babe. When I woke up in this bed and your face was the first one I saw, I knew I didn’t want to go a day without looking at it again.” I tuck her hair behind her ears. “I feel different. I feel new. And it’s because of you. All these wasted years, I fought against my feelings for you because he made me, but now, I think I was just scared because I knew I loved you and I wasn’t sure what that love would cost me. But now, I’ll pay that price with my life if necessary.”
