Diana collapsed against the back of the couch and said, “I’ We need soh in the last year it will be nice to have so to look forward to”

I laughed “You can say that

again” I grabbed Jonathon’s hand and squeezed it He gazed down at ly that it almost broke my heart Our love was unexplainable, it wasn’t cheical It was special It was one of a kind We were soul mates and our love was so much more I had experienced more love in the last year than most people did in one lifetime That didn’t mean we hadn’t had our ups and downs, but it h to not let it break us I knew that Jonathon and I could survive anything as long as ere together We were stronger than s that happen to us aren’t meant to break us, or er Jonathon and I were both strong people now, due to circumstances out of our control

He leaned down and whispered inme shiver, “I can’t wait to be able to call you my wife and hold you in o”

“You better not ever lethim a smile

“Get a room already,” taunted Mason

I blushed so fierce We had already done that but thank God they didn’t know or Jonathon and I would never hear the end of it I could already predict the taunts ould receive about our wedding night Just the thought made my stomach queasy

Mason chuckled and shrugged his shoulders “I hope she’ll be able to handle all of this,” he made a funny face and motioned to his body

“I love you more than any man has ever loved a woman,” he whispered back

I was beyond happy, and I hoped to stay that way for the rest of my life
