“Never. I’d never ask that of you.”
“I would have chosen you,” she declared, turning in my arms so her chest was flush with me. “In a million different variables, I would have always chosen you.”
Fuck.
All those long months of misery, of being so far down in a hole that there seemed to be no way out of it, they were all worth it.
Worth this.
With her.
Forever.
