She could feel it deep inside.

The details would always be the details. But the big stuff, the stuff that mattered, was already settled in her heart and mind.

This was where they both belonged, and they’d found it together.

“Hell yeah,” she replied, voice rough with emotion.

He took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around her, picked her up, and carried her back to his bed.

DAVE

He brushed his fingers gently through her hair at her temple and watched her sleep.

Never had he felt so still.

Time had always confused him. He knew it existed, and he was tied to its useless rules. But here, with her, time stopped. Because even time had no power over how he felt for her.

He was never going to be able to love her the way she deserved. Not in a normal way. Not the way someone else might.

The way he loved her would be different. It would be the only way he knew how—flat out and constant. Intensity mingled with gratitude.

Most importantly, he would cherish her.

And she would feel cherished.

That was a promise he knew he could keep.

CELEBX BREAKING NEWS

WEDDED BLISS! Sunshine Capone secretly marries Sabine Debois just one month after proposing.

CelebX obtained exclusive photos of Sunshine Capone and Sabine Debois showing PDA outside of a federal courthouse on Friday.

Rumors of a romance between the rapper and the teacher started four months ago when they appeared together at the NMAs. Sunshine’s publicist insisted they were just friends—which was reiterated by sources close to both of them.

But over the past few weeks the two were spotted holding hands and hiding from photographers in Los Angeles and again in New York, fueling romance rumors once again.

Sources close to Sunshine Capone have confirmed that the two wed in a secret ceremony in a Chicago courthouse on Friday.

A month ago, sources said he took her ring shopping, but they were trying to keep it low key.

“They’re both very down to earth people. It’s going really well for the both of them and they’re happy,” the unnamed source said.

The source that confirmed the nuptials said, “They just didn’t have a reason to wait anymore. It might seem sudden to anyone who doesn’t know them. But this makes sense for who they are.”

The newlyweds are rumored to be honeymooning in the Maldives.

Sunshine’s publicist did not comment on the rumors.
