“For you,” she said to her husband, and Lorenzo’s smile widened.
“Aw, babe,” he said. “You didn’t have to.”
He always said that to her. He still wasn’t used to receiving presents, to receiving the unconditional love, but slowly, together, he was learning.

“Babe...” Lorenzo’s voice was choked, and he pulled Katrina into a warm embrace, even as the cheers of congratulations, along with Judith’s quip about her giving him something she’d peed on, filled their home. “I love you so much.”

“But she was right, see? Because I had all these dreams back then, dreams of being happily married to the love of my life, dreams of the home we’d share together, dreams of a family. Don’t you see? They’ve all come true.”
And through the years, through better and worse, through richer and poorer, through the birth of their son, through watching their children grow, their bond, their love remained as strong as that day.
No longer could they say they were broken.
