Haylie POV
I took Liam's hands into mine and stood before him. Tears streamed down his face, a mirror of my own pain. My heart felt shattered, as though the weight of our shared grief was too much to bear.
"Liam," I whispered, my voice barely audible, trembling with emotion. His eyes locked onto mine, and the depth of his anguish broke me further.
I released his hands, raising one trembling hand to his cheek to gently wipe away his tears. "You will always be the only man in my life. No one can take that away from us because you are my everything," I said, a sob escaping as I stood there, vulnerable and raw. "I love you more than anything, and your mark on my neck will always remind me of the love we shared."
