Chapter two. The wanting.

You already know the name. You are only waiting for a reason to say it out loud. The space between noticing someone and moving toward them, and you have stopped pretending you are still standing still.

This chapter holds the tension before the choice. Warm. Certain. Impossible to ignore.

Go on then. You were never going to walk away.

You told them something you had never said aloud before. They moved closer. That was the moment the walls you built without noticing became unnecessary.

This is the chapter of being fully known and choosing to stay anyway.

The best thing you ever did was let one person all the way in.

This is the decision you would make again, every time, without hesitation. Two people standing in front of everyone they love, saying out loud what their hearts already knew.

This is the chapter where forever stops being a someday and becomes a life.

One incredible yes. A lifetime of mornings that follow it.
