“I love you,” I whisper and lean into Sawyer as we walk up the front stairs of the cottage together.
“I love you just a tiny bit more,” he smiles and kisses my hand gently. He loves to say that, no matter how much I protest or pout, he won’t relent that his love is just an iota stronger, just runs centimeters deeper, is just a bit wider than mine.
Today I don’t argue. Instead, I smile. Let him think he loves me more. Let me think I love him more. If that’s our biggest disagreement, then I think we’ve got it pretty good.
Pretty perfect, really. I throw my arm around his waist and snuggle in against his hard shoulder letting the moment marinate in my soul. Enjoying every second, of every day that I have with him on this earth.
And living it to the fullest.
THE END
