“Honey, you’re the toughest person around.” He ran his fingers across her cold skin needing to maintain contact with her.

“Scary stuff, huh?” she asked.

“Real scary stuff.” He stared down at her, memorizing every detail. It would take a lifetime before he got over this scare. But if he had his way, he would spend what time he had left on earth making sure this beautiful woman knew how much he loved her.

They’d both learned a valuable lesson. A job is simply what you do to earn money. Real living is finding the one person that makes your life complete.

Voices sounded in the distance, and his body sagged with relief. They’d hung on long enough. People were here to get her to the hospital. With the bluest eyes in the world looking up at him, he smiled down at the woman who held his future.

“It’s time to go home, Princess. Let’s go make our family.”
