My sweet, gorgeous, sexy-as-hell wife.
And when morning comes?
I’ll wake up with her in my arms.Like I will every single morning until the day I die.Because I know that I’m right where I belong, and with the only person in this world made for me.
Just like the pair of swans out in my pond.
That woman has my whole damn heart—and somehow, against all odds, I’ve got hers too.
My sweet Kelly.
My gorgeous, stubborn, sexy-as-hell firework of a wife.
My Honey.
She’s it for me.
There isn’t another woman walking this earth who could take her place, and I’d pity the fool who tried.Our life together?It’s everything I didn’t know I was missing and now couldn’t live without if I tried.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to protect it.
To keep it safe.
To keephersafe.
Because that’s what real love means, far as I’m concerned.It means showing up every damn day.It means standing beside the person you chose no matter what storms come rolling down the mountain.It means loving them with everything you’ve got and not apologizing for it.
I waited a long time for Kelly McCrae.
Long enough to know she’s worth every fight, every sleepless night, every wild, reckless promise I’ve ever made in her name.
And now that I’ve got her?
Well.
Let’s just say I’m not a man who gives things up once they belong to him.
Especially not the woman who owns my heart.
My Honey.
Mine.
And I’m hers.
The end.
