I stared at her for a couple of seconds and nodded. “Well, you know, I was thinking that I should start a foundation instead of just donating randomly each year.” I stared at her. “Maybe you’d like to be in charge of that foundation.”
She shook her head quickly. “Travis, I can’t be in charge of any foundation. I wouldn’t know what I was doing. I—”
“I mean, we would get you some education and some mentors, and maybe you can spend some time at the Ford Foundation and other foundations to see how everything works. Then when the time is right…” I shrugged. She smiled at me, a raw look of happiness in her eyes.
“You’re really amazing. Do you know that, Travis Covington?”
“I mean, I tried to tell you that the very first time I met you, but you didn’t want to believe me.”
She rolled her eyes then. “You’re still cocky and full of yourself. But…”
“But what?” I said.
“It’s okay. None of us are perfect.”
“Didn’t you just tell me that I was one of the most perfect men you’ve ever met in your life?”
“I wouldn’t go that far,” she said, giggling. “I mean, you’re perfect for me, and that’s all that matters.”
“Well, you’re perfect for me, dear,” I said, honestly, knowing that I would never meet someone like Molly again in my life. And as I stared at her, I wanted to tell her that I saw her as my everything. That she was my one and only, that I knew deep in my heart that one day we would be married and shewould be the mother of my children and the grandmother to my grandchildren.
I knew it as I knew that I breathed in oxygen every day. It was a true fact that didn’t need to be proved or disproved. It just was. Molly Malone was my soul mate. She was the love of my life. She was everything I’d never known I even wanted or needed. And she completed my life. I felt like the luckiest man on earth. I felt like I could float on the clouds in the sky and see God in the moon. When I was with her, I wanted for nothing. When I stared into her eyes, I saw my home. And when I felt her next to me, I felt comforted, and warm and fulfilled, and like I had everything I could ever ask for.
And I knew that the enormity of our relationship was something that both of us would treasure forever because Molly Malone was my person. She was my woman. She was made for me. “I love you, Molly,” I said. “I love you more than the stars in the sky. I love you more than the ants on the earth. You’re my one and only. And I want you to know that I would give up every dollar I have just to spend one more day with you. Nothing is more important to me than you and your happiness, and I need you to know that.”
“I love you, too, Travis Covington, and I always will. And I don’t care if you’re a billionaire or you just have ten cents to your name. I would live with you anywhere. I would follow you around the world. I would be a rubbish cleaner for you.”
I started laughing then. “You’d be a rubbish cleaner for me?”
“Yeah, like a trash collector,” she said, groaning. “And you know how much I would hate to be a trash collector.”
“I heard they make good money,” I said.
“Yeah, I’m sure they do. But okay,” she said, “I’d even be a sewer cleaner for you.”
“You’d clean sewers for me?” I asked, softly gazing at her with love.
“If it meant I’d get another moment with you.” She nodded. “We are like two birds in the night that have found each other,” she said with a smile.
“I couldn’t have said it better.” I held her to me closely and kissed her shoulder. “I love you, my darling, and I always will.”
