Tears tingle in the corners of my eyes. “I love you too, Sebastian. You’re the best decision I’ve ever made. I just wish we hadn’t waited so long.”
“Doesn’t matter. We have each other now.”
“Hell yeah, we do.” I turn into his big, husky body and settle my aching body against him, feeling my muscles relax. The shadows dance around the room and the fire burns hotter and brighter before it settles into ashiness.
That will never happen to us though. Our fire will never burn out and it makes me smile. We’ve got everything we need. Everything we could possibly want.
A past that made us stronger and our love burn deeper, a present that is like heaven for two lonely souls who found each other after too much time and a future that burns brighter every single day we have together.
I rub my face on his soft flannel shirt and breathe in that scent that is only him and know that this is where I’m meant to be. Where I will happily fall when I’m crying and let him comfort me. And where I will hide when I need some time alone. Where I will happily grow old and watch our children grow up together.
He sighs, obviously thinking along the same lines as me. “I’ve finally got my girl right where I want her. Wrapped up in my arms like the prettiest little Christmas present ever.”
This. This is what we should have always had. And now that we do… this is heaven. The best possible Christmas and life ever!
