I stop walking and put my arms around her waist, pulling her in close as it starts to snow heavily.

“I’d go through it all again if it always led me back to you,” I tell her.

“I’d go through it all again, too, for you. My parents, the loneliness, the uncertainty…it was all worth it.”

I kiss her then, not feeling anything but the love we have for each other, and knowing that the right person will support you through anything.* * *
