Chapter 3
As we rest on the old couch brought over from his old home, i remember with an unfortunate thought that tomorrow was Monday. He has to go back to work in the coal mines. I dreaded the thought, because we had just gotten married, and now I wouldn't be able to see him for twelve hours a day. That thought alone was enough to make me sad, but i attempted to smile through it all. Being free to be with him was better than having to hide our relationship.
Just as I was thinking these happy and sad thoughts, he leaned over, smiled, stared his gorgeous grey eyes deep into mine and said in a smiling tone
"Hey, guess what?"
"What?" I asked him back, laughing to myself at his tone of voice.
"I love you" He said with a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. I laughed, put his face in my hands, kissed him and said
"You better, we just got married. I wouldn't want to have just married a man that didn't love me." This time it was his turn to laugh.
"Oh my love" he started to say. "I couldn't ever not love you. You are the most important thing in my life, and i love you more than i need the air around us to breathe." I smiled up at him, my head swirling with thoughts of love. That was the most romantic, sweet, and loving thing anyone has ever said to me.
"Good." I said with a hint of a laugh, the corners of my mouth starting to pull up. "Then will you please love me? For real?" He obliged, took my hand in his, and led me towards our bedroom.
