Where Our Hearts Collided

Previously

…Tears welled in her eyes, shimmering like captured stars. “John,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I love you too. Always have.” And then, with a strength that belied the years of struggle, the shared pain, and the whispered doubts, we finally, finally embraced. It wasn’t a tentative touch, or a hesitant step. It was a collision of hearts, a surrender to a love that had been patiently waiting, a love that had weathered storms and emerged stronger, more profound, more real than I could have ever imagined. In that moment, under the vast, painted sky, I knew we had found our home. In each other.
