Tears shimmered at the edges of Lindsay's eyes, but her head shook with unshakable resolve. "I'm not afraid. As long as I can stand beside you, no hardship can break me..."
"And I don't care how many women there are in your life," she said, voice soft yet steady. "As long as I'm one of them, that's all that matters."
She pressed herself to Jared's chest, heartbeat steady against his ribs. "I know your road is long and lined with trials, but I will wait, and when I can, I'll fight beside you. Whatever tomorrow brings, I will never regret the choice I make today."
Heat bloomed behind Jared's sternum, spreading outward like sunrise across marble. He drew her close, arms firm and protective.
In that embrace, he finally, fully, accepted the brave and sincere woman before him.
