Smiling, she chewed on her cheeks as her skin turned the prettiest shade of pink. “You mean that?”

“I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. I love you, I've loved you since the first time I laid eyes on you.” Holding her jaw in my palm, I pressed my forehead against hers. “I've been waiting for you to come into my life, because before you, I didn't know what it meant to really love. I know now and I'm going to love you forever.”

Her eyes bounced between mine as she pushed up onto the tips of her toes. “I love you too.”

Before Glory, I was man set in his ways. I woke up ever single day not understanding what it truly meant to be alive.

But now, now I had the one thing I didn't know I was missing.

I couldn't see it until I had her and she was gone.

I would never let her go again.
