I smiled sweetly at Daniel, “Danny, what would I ever do without you?”
He smiled at me as we dished up our plates, I had made a wild raspberry sauce to go well with our meal, for our drink we had a blackberry wine we made together 5 years ago.
“My darling” he mused out loud, “I honestly think the question should be, what would I do without you?”
I chocked on my wine and looked at him stunned, “are you kidding me Danny? You certainly wouldn’t be in the woods living off of wildlife, that’s forsure.”
He laughed, finishing off his meal, me doing the same. “That’s right I suppose, but I kinda like it out here, it’s peaceful, it’s quiet, and with you, my heart is always warm despite the weather outside.”
I rolled my eyes, 5 years of this kind of love and I still couldn’t get used to the idea of him loving me for me. He knew exactly what I was. And despite that, he still chooses to love me, and chose, quite willing, to have a child with me. “Daniel, I know I don’t say this enough, but I love you, thank you for being my husband.”
He was quite for a few moments and I thought I had stunned him, but when he spoke I fell in love all over again.
“Too bad your pregnant, because I feel like making love to you tonight.”
