“How could I not? You—you are everything I ever dreamed of. You taught me that all men are not the same, that some deserve to be trusted. I never thought I needed that until you came knocking at my door. But no matter what happens, you will be my dearly loved knight for all my life.”
“I’m only a man, one with no armor. The rest is just a story.”
Her smile was warm, her eyes suspiciously bright. “I see armor, shining with right and the best of intentions, always.”
“I can try to live up to that, if it’s what you need,” he answered, his gaze steady, unwavering in its promise.
“I only need you.”
“Ah, Mandy love. You’ve had me since you opened your door and you told me to get lost.”
“You didn’t do it. You protected me, instead, and I’ll be grateful for it all my life.”
“I had to, because I knew even then I couldn’t live without you.”
She would have answered, but there were no words. And no thoughts either, as he matched his lips to hers and blotted out the world.
