He puffed out a small laugh, her sweetness wrapping around him and beguiling him just as it always had. "Yeah."
Her smile became wider as happiness lit her eyes. "Yeah, what?"
"Yeah, I forgive you."
She hit him softly on the arm in quick retaliation. "You better."
"You think?"
"Yes."
"Why?" he asked simply.
Her eyes grew serious. "Why do I want you to forgive me?"
"Yes."
"Because I love you. And I can't live without you. And I only want to make you happy."
He leaned his forehead against hers. "You do. You always have. You just scared me shitless, that's all."
Her expression sobered. "I know. I won't do it again."
"You better not." He hugged her tightly, knowing he'd never let her go.
The End
