  He kissed the corner of Becca’s lips. “As long as I don’t have to consummate the marriage with them, I’m good with that.”

  She laughed. “I never thought I’d meet somebody who’d take all this on.”

  He stroked her cheek tenderly. “I never thought I’d meet somebody who’d make me want to take this on. To be part of something bigger. But then I met you and everything changed. I changed. I want this, because I want you. And maybe one day we can make our own family, too.”

  Becca blinked, her eyes stinging. “I want that.”

  “So do I.” His voice was thick. He kissed her again. “I live to make you happy. Who knew I was even capable of that?”

  “I knew,” she told him, a half smile on her face.

  He nodded. “And that’s why I love you. Because you make me want to be a better person. The kind of person who deserves you.”

  “And that’s why I love you,” she whispered, looping her arms around his neck and smiling up at him. She felt radiant. More alive than ever, thanks to him. “Because you do deserve me.”

  He brushed her cheek with his lips. “And will you feel that way forever? For the rest of our lives?” he murmured.

  She lifted her hand from his neck, turning her fingers to admire the ring. It was beautiful, just like him.

  Author Note

  Thank you for taking the time to read Becca and Daniel’s story. In WHEN WE TOUCH, Type 1 Diabetes has played a huge part in Daniel’s life. 1.25 million people in the USA currently suffer from this autoimmune condition, including more than 200,000 under 20 years old.

  I’m very grateful to my friend, Jennifer Locklear, for her time in sharing her experiences with me as a mother of a young man who lives with Type 1 Diabetes. She gave me a huge insight into the challenges he faces, and how he manages these. Any mistakes I’ve made in the story are mine and mine alone.
