for a thousand Nathans, that little shit. I loved the both of them. They completed me in ways I didn't even realize I needed completing. I'd been aimless before I met AnnMarie and I thought I was living a satisfactory life. Fighting and random women were all I needed. But she came into my life and made me realize that all that was worthless. I shuddered when I think of how different my life would've been without her.
"I love you more than Freedom Funds. More than my need for security," AnnMarie said. "I'd love you even if you left me, even if you had another family that you found to take care of." Hot tears hit my shoulder and I know she was thinking of her mother who had never married and had always loved a man who couldn't leave his wife. "I'd love you if the world came to an end and all we had was each other because you, Bo Randolph, are enough for me. I don't need anything in my life other than you and Charlotte. When I met you in Central I was so afraid even though I pretended like I was strong. Your silent strength made it easy for me to face my enemies. Knowing you always had my back made me feel stronger, braver, like I could conquer the world. Your steady and unwavering love has made me reach farther and higher than I could've on my own. I don't think that the English language is powerful enough to express my love for you. Love isn't even the right word. You give me life, Bo Randolph. You are my life and I can't wait to live out the rest of it by your side."
Well, shit. The only way I could respond to that was by making love to AnnMarie again. And again until the only sounds in our bedroom were our bodies affirming the promises we'd made each other.
