“With you, I want the world. You make me want all the things I never thought I should have. All the things I never thought I was good enough for. All the things I always thought everyone else would have, but that were somehow never meant for me.”

“Look, you can doubt all you want.” His words cut through and complete my thought at the same time. “But I know for certain that we’re in this for the long haul.” Turning my hand over in his, he strokes his thumb over the matching tattoos we got before asking Violet if she would take us on as her family.

“How? How do you know?” I stammer.

Flashing me that drop-dead gorgeous smile of his, he states simply, “Because you’re my home. My forever. I’ve never been more solidified in my life than right here, right now with you and our sugar pop.”

He can have whatever he needs.
Maybe I’m not what he needs, after all.

[…] It’s more than me invading him and him allowing me.
It’s about us both finally having what we’d always wanted, and being lucky enough to find it in each other.
It’s more than love and unity.
It’s more than laughter and family.
It’s something higher, something more sacred than I could ever describe.

After cleaning up and pulling some clothes on, we curl next to each other in bed. His head on my chest, his arm draped across my stomach, his body tucked securely next to mine—it’s exactly how it was always meant to be.
And with the promises of the future laid out before us, the serenity of the moment hangs over us even more sweetly, serenading us to sleep.
