“Yes,” she said, turning to gaze at him. “You have made me the happiest girl in the world.”

“That, my dear, is something I can agree with wholeheartedly,” he said, and kissed the top of her head. “I love you.”
“I love you, too,” she said, closing her eyes. She didn’t know what the future held, but she knew that she would be happy as long as he was with her, and that was all that mattered. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, until death would they part.
