Too many things happened in the past twenty-four hours. They had been the best and worst hours of my life. One moment I thought I was going to die, the next I found Emily in my arms crying her eyes out, thinking that she had lost me.

My private jet caught on fire last night during landing due to some complications. At first, I was trapped inside along with the two flight attendants, the pilot and co-pilot. Miraculously, the rescue team managed to get us out.

It took them less than ten minutes to do that, but they were the longest minutes of my life, because I realized then that I didn't want to die. There were so many things that I wanted to do in my life that I didn't get to do. I wanted to be there for my daughter and watch her gr

I wanted to grow old with Emily even though at that moment, I didn't even know if she would ever take me back or not. I wanted to go stargazing with her and take her on many plenie and rooftop dates because they were her favourite. I wanted to dance with her to her fav scent as she laid her head on my chest.

When Emily ran towards me and hugged me with everything in her I thought I was hallucinating. I wasn't even sure what she was doing at the airport, but I was glad that she was there. When I wrapped my arms around her shaking body, a voice in my head told me to be It was hard to prevent myself from texting her for two weeks, but I wanted to give her time to think. I didn't want to make her feel forced into a relationship with me only to wake up one day to realize that I wasn't the man she wanted.

I was currently lying down in her bed while she was sleeping soundly in my arms. I still couldn't believe that she was a blonde again. I loved her with her black hair and her blonde hair, but blonde suited her more. It reminded me of the first time I realized that she was the w She shifted a little in my embrace and nuzzled her face more in the crook of my neck. She was absolutely adorable and all I wanted was to kiss her. but I didn't want to wake her up. I spent years dreaming of living that moment again and I wasn't going to take it for granted When I told her I wanted to take her home yesterday, I didn't have a specific place in mind. I didn't care whether it meant going to her place or mine because home meant being with her and Rosie, even if that meant living in a cottage
