He loves me harder.“Evee.” He speaks my name from his heart. “Do you know how often I dreamed of you loving me the way I love you? I would trade my eyesight for my hearing just to hear you speak those words to me.”We walk arm-in arm, on a narrow stretch of grass between the sand and the trees with our hearts wide open to one another.

To allow someone in your heart to see the darkest parts of you knowing that they will love them too. I am free to love him as hard as I want. I am free to love him as I am. And my Kiah is here for it all.
