“And we had to learn how to dance together.”

“That’s important,” I agree. “What else?”

“Whether we like spaghetti, and kissing in the rain.”

“We do,” I say.

He smiles and takes my lips in a kiss. Then, “And how we like our chocolate.”

“Spicy. And blindfolded.”

He grins. “And if we like sports or just climbing trees.”

“Just trees.”

“And where we want to live,” he adds.

“Here,” I say, and he nods.

“And how many kids we want,” he continues. He pulls me closer and trails a line of kisses down my cheek.

“A dozen,” I tease.

His eyes light up and I wrap my legs around him.

“And then we have to practice making them. It takes a lot of practice,” he says.

He spreads his hands over my lower back and I rock into him.

“Years’ worth of practice,” I say.

He takes my mouth and sets a kiss full of love against my lips.

“Every day,” he agrees.

I send my hands over him and realize how blessed, how wonderfully blessed I am. To love and to be loved.

“I love you,” Will whispers fiercely against my mouth.

He rolls back to the floor and pulls me on top of him. I nestle into him and feel his warmth and the beating of his heart.

“I need you to know something,” I say. I press my fingers to his cheeks and look into his eyes.

“What is it?”

“I love you. I loved you before I knew you were my soul mate and I loved you when I thought you weren’t. And I’m going to keep on loving you, come what may.”

He smiles and pulls me close. His lips rub against mine. “Promise?”

I start to laugh. I feel so light. So happy. So loved. “Promise.”

He takes my mouth and kisses me with all his love. The love from yesterday, from today, and for tomorrow. For always and forever.
