She clings to my neck and kisses me deeply, and then moves my head to rest against her chest.
“I’m so excited,” she says. “I feel like the world is my oyster, and I want to eat it raw! I feel like anything is possible!”
I smile, snuggling against her.

“It’s a promise,” I kiss her hand, making a vow here that feels more solemn than the ones we said in front of the priest.
We stay silent for a few moments. I don’t want the night to end just yet, so I’m careful to not fall asleep while I recover my strength for round two.
“Hey?” she shakes me softly. “Are you ready to go again?”

I perk up the same instant, “Sure!”
I dive into her lips again, now surer than ever that I want to die in the arms of this woman.
