Forever--that's what this means.

[reaches for his hand again]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[takes it, sitting with him, leaning]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

... I'm glad it's finally happened.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I am too! . . . Jasdero helped me make the rings. So--we got his blessing.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[looking down at his ring thoughtfully] We did?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I talked it over with him. He was worried it meant he'd never see me again, but--I told him it's not like that at all. So he was okay with it.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Me too. [leaning harder] I'm glad about all of it!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

We've done all right, haven't we?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I think we've done real g--well?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Mm, we have.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . We're a good couple.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

... somehow, yes.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

When I think about anyone else, I don't think it'd work out. Even if not because I love you! But--like, Michael, it wouldn't have worked with him . . . the only husband that works for me is you.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

It was a lucky kind of chance.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

It was sort of random, huh . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

It was.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

But it changed my whole life.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Mine changed too, you know.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I--I know! . . . Wonder who else you would've ended up with.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Likely no one.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Someone would've wanted you.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] And it wasn't as if I was interested, either.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . So how'd I win you over?
