She offers a smile before sliding down into the car and starting the engine. I do the same, and together, we slowly make our way out of the cemetery.
Toward her house.
Toward our future.

We step through her front door, the light above the sink, as well as the moonlight filtering through the big picture window. She releases my hand and drops her purse on the table before awarding me with one of her killer smiles.
I don’t say anything. I can tell she has something on her mind, a resolve in her posture and determination in her eyes that tells me to just stand aside and watch.
Meghan reaches for the shoes sitting beside the door. She takes them in her hands and seems to gaze lovingly down at the pair of runners before bringing them to her chest in a hug. She smiles a small, sad grin as she opens the closet door and sets them inside. She slowly closes the door, her green eyes on mine.
I’m not sure if I should say anything or not, but I know how big this moment is.
No words are spoken as she reaches for me, offering so much more than just her hand. She’s offering me her heart, the greatest gift ever.
I will forever cherish it.
And her.
