" I love you, Wes. The kind of love that makes my chest hurt and makes me feel afraid,” I say.
“Don’t be afraid,” he says, his nose grazing along the side of mine.
“I’m not…not really. I just want you to know that you, that this…” I say, stumbling with my words.
“I know,” Wes says for me. “It’s like for once we’re in charge and this is exactly how our story is supposed to go.”
“I’m yours,” he says, his head falling against mine.
“Yeah?” I ask.
“Yeah,” he says. “I’ll be the reason you wake up smiling. That’s hero enough for me. "
