Sometimes she marvels at those little things that mean the world to her now.

Like the warm feeling that stirs within her as she wakes up in the morning to find her fiancé spooned against her back; his arm is always wrapped around her waist, as if to make sure she wouldn't disappear overnight.

She cherishes the rare occasions when she manages to slip away from his embrace without waking him; she tiptoes downstairs and makes him tea, so that he opens his eyes to a cup of his favorite beverage.

The smile he gives her is always worth it.
