Beatrice
“Then can I ask you a question?”
He’s on his knees in front of me, and I don’t know what to think. My mind is racing wondering if he’s really doing what I think he is. “Yeah of course.” I respond, hoping my voice isn’t too shaky.
He’s looking at me so endearing as he says, “Bea I don’t know what can happen tomorrow. I’ve done dozens of dangerous things in my life, but none of them have been with you in my life. I never had someone to come home to. Someone to care about and protect, the way that I do you. So, I can’t just leave tomorrow without doing something. I love you so much. I love every part about you. Your heart, your soul, your kindness. Simply you. I want to see every morning with you next to me. I want to have a family with you one day, if that’s what you still want.
