“I love you, Mel. For all the days I knew you before, and all the days we’ll have after this.” 😭

I’m sick to my stomach over Jason finding out what’s going on.

The talk to me goose!!

“I don’t care how many years I get with you. The quantity of days we get with those we love is out of our hands. But the quality of those days-that’s up to us.” 😭

“Life has a way of knocking us all around. At some point, arbitrary things like ages stop mattering, and you realize that people wade through deep shit in every season of life. It’s best just to put labels aside and decide whether you’re gonna sit in the mess with them or carry them through it. Sometimes it’s a little of both.”

“No. It’s been a lifetime. We’re just finally getting around to the good part.”
“I think all of it’s been the good part.”
“I’m not looking to upturn your life. I just want to be a part of it.”

“Sometimes love doesn’t have to be complicated and dramatic. Sometimes it’s just two people who realize that they don’t want to live life any other way. Sometimes it’s leaning on each other. Trusting the other one to be strong in a moment of weakness.” 😭

“I’m going to propose to you, Mel. Not today. Not tomorrow. But soon. So, if you don’t want that, I’d suggest you tell me right now. I’m not playing. I’ve wanted you for longer than you know, and I’m not walking away this time.”
“I want that. You. Us. All of it. I’m in.”

I would melt if a man told me I looked “absolutely regal”. 🥹
