“I need you to understand that I fucking love you, Audrey.” I brought my hands to her face and sealed my lips to hers. “We’ve already lost too much time and I can’t lose a second more. I love you, all of you, every last inch of you. You’re everything to me. I don’t care if we get married. Doesn’t matter to me. But I need you to know that I’m yours and you are mine, and there is nothing in this world that will keep me away from you. The rest of my life isn’t nearly enough to love you but it’s all I have. Please tell me it’s enough.”

“Don’t you get it? After all this time, don’t you see it yet? There is nothing you could ever do that would keep me away.” He ran his knuckles up the side of my neck and along my jaw, and then brushed his thumb over my lips. “I’ll always belong to you, even if you don’t belong to me.”

“Then we start over and we get it right this time.”

Whether I wanted every thought to circle back to her in one way or another, simply because her fingerprints were on every inch of my life.”
