I look at her now, and I am filled with gratefulness. Thankful that she's decided to give me a chance. To give us a chance. She's everything I've ever wanted.

The same goes for me. "Don't ask questions you don't want answers to," she replies, probably hoping it will coax

slide behind her legs, lifting her as I get to my feet. I walk us farther into the room and over to the bed. I set her down on the edge, my lips dancing

separating our mouths. Her hands find me again, sliding my dress pants and boxers off until we're both naked. I press her into the bed, twisting our bodies and shoving her toward
