“Come on, wife,” says Liam, pulling me up from the chair.
“Excuse me?” I say and push his chest. “Wife?”
“You are, aren’t you? Come on, I have wifely duties for you to perform.”
“Just because I’m your wife, that doesn’t mean I’ll do what you want.” I pout at his teasing.
Liam hoists me over one shoulder, and I find my head tipped down against his back. “Sometimes.” He slaps my backside. “Time to go.”
I don’t know whether to be embarrassed or amused and I fight against him, attempting to move from his shoulder. I already know how strong Liam is and how if he wants something, he can be persuasive but always respects no.
“Only when I let you,” I remind him, as he carries me out into the quiet of the snow-covered grounds.
Liam sets me onto the snow and I shiver as the snowflakes drift onto my bare shoulders. He kisses away the flakes that settled onto my face, the way he did almost a year ago and rubs my cold back.
“I found him,” I say.
“Who did you find?”
“The snowstorm of a man who showed me how to love myself by being passionate about everything I am. Remember?”
The memory catches up with Liam too and he kisses my cheeks, nose, eyebrows, everywhere the snow lands. “I love you, Cerys Oliver.”
“And I love you.”
With the snow flurrying around us, we stand with cool hands on each other’s faces. The silent communication in this moment is that of two souls made for each other and with that connection, I trust Liam with my heart, my life, my everything.
Some soul mates never meet, or their paths cross at the wrong time, and those people will always have an emptiness they’ll never understand. Liam came into my life years ago and left again, but on the day he kissed me at Christmas, my life fused with his. With that kiss, our souls surrendered and our hearts aligned leading us to this moment and to our forever.
