"I'll go and change," I said, starting to move away, but he stopped me.

 

"No, baby, let's go to the dressers. You're my future wife; it's high time I showed you to the whole world," he declared, his eyes full of determination and affection.

His love for me was profound and undeniable, and the weight of his sentiments enveloped me in a warmth I had never known.
