Five years have passed since I married Dimtiri. Five years have passed since I had his daughter, little Janie Belikova Hathaway. I smiled when I saw her and Dimtiri playing in the garden. She ran after Dimtiri laughing as he pretended to fall, yelling for me to join.

I laughed and ran outside into the sun. laughing as Dimitri and I grabbed Janie and tickled her. We laughed and smiled.

I looked at Dimitri. He looked back at me.

We leaned slowly to each other.

Our lips connected. Fireworks sparked. We pulled back for air. Our eyes never looking away.

A smiled played on our lips.

" I'll always love you"…
