Keira took a sip of the warm milk and replied playfully, "Oh, then I won't call you that anymore."

"Hayden, thank you," Keira said softly after the kiss, voicing the words she hadn't spoken earlier during the ceremony.

"Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for accepting all of me, flaws and all, and loving me so deeply. Thank you for returning to me despite everything we've been through. And thank you for choosing to walk with me for the rest of our lives..." Their story didn't have the best beginning, and the journey had been anything but smooth.
