Hope.
Love.
And redemption. A crapload of that. This was how I’d atone for my actions all those years ago. Or at least, this was how I was going to try.
I wasn’t sure I could ever make things completely right. But, like Cash, I was going to spend each and every day trying my best to do that.

My entire body froze as I stared at him.
I didn’t know what to do.
On television.

His hands squeezed mine tighter. “And then when you left, it felt like nothing in this world made sense anymore. Because I knew—” he inhaled deeply, “I knew I was supposed to wake up beside you every day for the rest of my life.”
My poor heart.
It was breaking.
