I sat back down beside Robert, who put his arm around me, holding me close. “I love you,” he whispered against my temple as he kissed me.
I felt full and complete with the man I loved by my side and surrounded by my friends, who were my family. I was a lucky woman to have so much in my life.
As I watched my oldest and dearest friends stand at the front of the church with their infant daughter, I knew that life would have its ups and downs, but this connection—this love—was infinite.
“I love you too,” I whispered back to Robert. I looked down at the ring on my finger and knew that this was only the beginning.
Because a story like ours was forever.
The End
