“I thought it’d be bigger.”

Saylor rolls so her chin is propped on my shoulder. “I’m kidding. I love it. I love you.” Her fingers run along my cheek and up to my forehead, brushing some of my hair back. “I was so sure this didn’t exist. But you…you made me believe in happy endings again.”
I’ve had an extraordinary life by most measures. Achieved things most people only dream about. I’ve won championships and I’ve met important people. Encountered fame and enjoyed wealth. By comparison, falling in love sounds mundane. It’s something most people experience, at least once. So is getting engaged. It’s a big, common promise.
But I know, kissing Saylor beneath the stars, that no moment in my life will ever matter more than this one.
