Stepping out, I grab a towel to dry off. While I’m getting dressed while she brushes out her hair. It’s very much a scene of domesticity, and I couldn’t be happier. Once we’re both finished, we head back to the kitchen to have dinner. Jade sits on my lap while we eat because I’m not ready to let her go. I don’t think that I ever will be. With our bellies full, we fall into bed exhausted, sated, and happier than I’ve ever been. Sleeping with her in my arms is my new favorite pastime. Without a doubt in my mind, I know that I’m holding my future. I can’t wait to build a life with her.
“Night,” I say, kissing her shoulder.
“Goodnight.” The room is quiet other than the sound of our even deep breaths. I’m just about to sleep when she asks, “You sure you want me to stay all weekend
“Sweetheart, I want you to stay always.”
Forever.
