I smile. “Yeah, you are.”
“There’s going to be times while we do this job where we’re going to be apart—”
“I know that. And I’m okay with it. Honestly.”
“Let me finish. In past relationships, the distance was always a burden. Sometimes I didn’t even like coming home because I knew it would end in a fight about me not being there. But you … you understand it. It’s why you can trust me when I’m out there. Because there is no way I’m going to do anything to screw up what we have.”
“I trust you. I trust you with my life and my heart,” I whisper. “I’ve never had that before, but with you, it’s true.”
“When we’re away from each other, I want you to remember that I’m yours. I always will be.”
And I will always be his.
