He sighed. “In the end, it was, but it wasn’t easy. I figured I needed to take responsibility, and you didn’t need to share that burden with me. I thought we could both move on…but I ended up pining for you for six years.”
After listening to what he had to say, I tugged on his arms so he would release me, then circled around in his arms and cupped his face between my hands.
“You should have talked things out with me before deciding on your own.”
“The first couple years were exhausting,” he said in a whisper, tucking stray strands of my hair behind my ear. “It was good distraction, too, and there were a few times when I thought I would fail. Thinking back, I’m still surprised I managed to get through those times. Even now, though, I can't really relax.”
I smiled, and felt my lips tremble, as I pressed my forehead against his. “Well, like you said at the airport, however things go from now on, I am definitely with you for the rest of our lives, okay? I’ll prove that you can depend on me. I’ll have my parents clear out my apartment for me and I’ll request a transfer from my job, or look for a different one here. I’m not letting you go this time.”
He smiled back, leaning closer to peck me on the lips. “I’ll hold you to that.”
I let out a light laugh as I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his neck, then I sighed.
“New York isn’t so bad after all,” I said. Then shivered, and felt his arms tightened around me. “Even if it is a little cold.”
“I’m glad you think so,” Abe said back. “And I promise I’ll do my best to keep you warm.”
He pulled back at the same time I did, and we both leaned forward as our eyes slid closed, meeting in the middle in a soft kiss of promise.
Maybe it was better that we spent the time apart. Six years felt like a long time, but right now it felt perfect.
No longer was I the fake bride, but a real one and with the man I never stopped loving, but he was a better man and the right one for me.
