He smiled and shook his head. “I know I shouldn’t care, but I think it’s the only way I can get out of this cycle of uncertainty about myself. I don’t know…I guess I don’t really understand why I need to do this.”
“I do, and I support you one hundred percent. Just do your best and we’ll face things as they come.”
“I have a feeling that it’s going to be a rough ride, Ellie. I don’t know why, but maybe I’m just insecure.”
“Okay, so we’ll take the rough ride together,” I shrugged. I looked into his eyes and placed my hand against his face. “Can you just do me one favor, Tyse?”
“Yeah, of course. Anything.”
“Just always remember how much I love you.”
He slowly smiled and leaned forward, giving me a very long and loving kiss. “Your love is all I will ever need, Ellie.”
The End of the Beginning…
