She rises to her feet, reaching out for a towel. I get it for her, drying her off, then lift her in my arms, carrying her to our bedroom, kissing her the entire way.
When I lay her on our bed, she looks up at me with so much tenderness and adoration, she brings me to my knees.
“Promise me you’ll always kiss me like this,” I say. “That you’ll always look at me like this, as if I’m everything to you.”
“I promise. I don’t know how to love you any other way, Dan.”
“Good, because I will love you more every day.”
