Forever Your Rogue

by Erin Langston

“You maddening woman. Do you hear yourself? You are the love of my goddamned life, Cora. You are the reason for my goddamned life. I am insanely, irrevocably in love with you, I’m in love with your children, I’m in love with the family we created this summer. I’m going to be in love with all of you until the day I take my last breath, and then the dust of me will keep on loving you thereafter. You’ll never be free of me, Cora.”
