"I once told you that you were the start of my villain arc, but that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. You were my redemption arc. Loving you, long before I ever admitted it, even to myself, made me strive to be a man worthy of your love in return. I doubt I’ll ever get there, I doubt any man ever really could, but I promise to always put you first. I promise to love and protect you in this lifetime, and every other." Tears rolled down her cheeks as he spoke, he lifts her hands to his mouth pressing a kiss into her knuckles as she gathered her thoughts.
