“Why would you do that?” I whisper.
“Because I was going to be the one to help give you a new life, and you are the most beautiful fucking thing on this earth. It was fitting and right.”

“Oh yes, we have.” I put my arm around his waist and hold him to me. “Luckily, you’re good-looking.”
“Yeah, the best.” He yawns, and before I can say anything else, I hear him softly breathing in sleep.
