Autu in htly swollen, but for the most part, I have healed co beautiful, but when I was able to see myself in the mirror at the hospital for the first ti I looked My face ollen and defor so dry It wasn’t so much that I cared what I looked like, but I orried Kenton would seefro else I didn’t want that

I should have known better though The first tiently cuppedI needed to know I knew he lovedhappened, but noill never doubt it again

His hand covers mine on the whiteboard before I could write YES "I already told everyone you’re my fiancée, so you have to say yes Maybe I should take your pen frorowled "So ill it be? You gonna make an honest e, bold letters on the board

"Youwith me" He smiled andsay yes?"

If I could have smiled, I would have My head bent and I wiped the board off before writing YES across the whole surface The set until the day I die His fingers went to the ring, rolling it back and forth ontears fill my eyes "Thank you" His forehead touched ainst his cheek

I shakefrom down the hall I peekwith a pair of Kenton’s boxers, taking theetting ready, figuring that Kenton can deal with hih

When o back to the mirror, I see the di My hand lifts andthat see so painful

He didn’t agree with me He didn’t want to put it off another day, so we coot married two days after I was released, and he promised e reception, where I could wear a dress and he would wear a suit, and that way, I could have the wedding pictures I really wanted
