" I only want you", she groaned. "Only you. Promise me that I can keep you. Promise me."
My heart...shit, my heart.
It unlocked.
The padlock fell free.
Her words were a key. Her forgiveness, and love and strength and everything that made her pure stole me from my life of pain.
She changed me.
Right there.
Right then.
I became hers.
Irreversibly. "
