“Look at you. How did you happen to me?"Gods, shew as just going to cry if he kept this up."I just . . . there's no one else. Ever. It's you until I no longer draw breath.”

“Bull. Look, sometimes certain kinds of pain bring important lessons.

“I love you, Levi.” “Thank God for it because I love you too.” Her laugh was back in his house again. Her scent on his sheets.Her crap on his bathroom counter and her stuff in the drawers in his armoire.She lived in him and he had no plans to ever let that change.It didn’t matter that she was younger than he was. All that mattered was that she loved him and he loved her. The rest they could work out as time passed. She’d keep him in line. Decorate their house and fill it with music and love.

As deeply as he was hers.Made the groveling worth it.~~Sway”
