"To My Dear Xander,
I know that I am not perfect and might never be in this life or the next. But I want to take this moment to say thank you for coming into my life. You are a ray of sunshine that brightened my path, which was once filled with darkness. I don't know what the future is going to bring or how many obstacles we are going to face.
But I hope that, whatever circumstances we are in. You will always be by my side. Only when you are with me do I feel like I truly belong in this world.
So, thank you for everything. For loving me, cherishing me and giving me a family, I never thought I would have before.
I will spend the rest of my life loving you. So, give me this chance to prove it to you.
Lots of love,
From Gloria, your wife."
It made something in him stir. How could it not when that was a straight heartfelt confession he had just received?
Badum. Badum. Badum.
His heart raced as he raised his eyes to look at Gloria, who was all shy and avoiding direct gaze.
