Ninlil8 марта 2026I felt like he’d hit me. I sat down on the couch because my legs wouldn’t hold me up anymore. “No? Don’t you love me after all?”
“Lucy, I love you far too much to accept anything but the same in return. Don’t say yes in order to keep me here.”
I saw now how much I’d hurt him with my indecision. I stood up and went to him and took his hands in mine. I looked up, right into his eyes, and let him see everything I was feeling. “You were right. It was the thought of losing you that made my decision so clear. But I’m not saying yes for any other reason than that I don’t want to live my life without you. I want us to be together and live whatever crazy life we have in front of us for as long as we have it. I’m yours.”
For a moment, I watched the war going on behind his eyes. It was like the bleak, gray sky outside, and then I saw the moment the sun broke through.
“You’re sure about this?”
“Never surer of anything.”
He kissed me as though he’d never let me go
