“I love you. Do you hear me? I love you so much, Kendra Simmons. I am ready to marry you again and give you the wedding you deserve and be the perfect husband for you,” he said earnestly.
“I hope this is not your idea of a joke because I swear I will kill you with my bare hands,” Kendra sobbed. She didn’t know what to feel. Everything seemed surreal. One minute she felt her world was in shambles and the next, she is listening to Tyler professing his love.
Tyler chuckled. “No, this is not a joke. For weeks I have known I have fallen irrevocably in love with you. Peter had to pound me in the head with the truth,” he smiled. “I was so afraid of becoming like my mother who became a willing victim of love. I was so intent to not allow myself to be vulnerable or allow anyone control over me or my feelings that I have gone through relationships without investing much emotion.”
“So what changed?” she challenged. “I’m nothing like any of your exes. I am never even half as glamorous and sophisticated as Bianca.”
“I don’t want or expect you to be,” he reassured. “You’re perfect just the way you are, my darling. Don’t ever change.”
“You really love me?” Kendra just had to be sure.
“Yes. But do you? I’ve been laying myself out in the open but I don’t even have any idea how you feel about me.” he grinned.
“Of course I love you, silly.” She playfully punched his chest. “Why else would I agree to be married to you? Haven’t you guessed by now?”
“I have suspected for quite a while,” he teased.
“Yeah, right,” she rolled her eyes.
“I promise to show you and prove to you just how much I love you every day of our lives,” he declared fervently.
“Why don’t you start showing me just how much right this minute?” she challenged playfully.
And he proceeded to do just that.
