“Well, I know how much you like to plan things. And I know that, after we got ourselves together and thinking straight, we decided to wait a few years to have kids....”

Ajax smiled, and her whole world brightened, the knot in her stomach dissolving. He stood up and put his arms around her, pulling her against his chest and kissing her, deep and hard, with everything he had. With no control. As he always did.
“That is the best news, Leah. The best gift.”
“But...our plans.”
“Who cares about plans? The greatest day of my life happened because all of my plans blew up in my face. That was when I found love. It was when I found you. Really found you.”
“Thank you so much for not freaking out.” She rose on her toes and kissed him again, then relaxed, pressing her forehead against his chin.

“That’s a relief. Because you’re stuck with me for life.”
“I always thought that I had to plan every step. That I had to know what was ahead, every facet, every detail, or I would get lost. But I know one thing now for sure.”
“And that is?”
“I don’t care where my path takes me. I don’t need to know what’s around every corner. All I need to know is that in the end, I’ll be standing with you.”
“I promise.”
