He pulls away from me and wipes at my tears with the pads of his thumbs. “What’s all this, baby?” he asks gently.
“I just can't believe we’re here. It’s been what, five years? I never thought we’d find our way back, or that it would be like nothing had ever changed between us.”
“It changed, but it changes constantly. Loving you was never hard. Living without you was hard, but loving you again? That's the easiest thing I’ll ever do. I’ll love you every day of the rest of my life.”
“In the kingdom where nobody dies,” I murmur. When he frowns adorably, I smooth my hand over the spot and smile. “That’s what I picture, is that we can live forever in our hearts and the hearts of those that love us.”
