Whatever Your Heart Desires Part 2

She nodded, stifling a sob.

"With all my heart."

"Do you trust me?", I countered.

She nodded again, perhaps with a bit less certainty.

"I have to, don't I? I mean, without that, we really don't have anything."

"What are you afraid of?", I questioned.

A big, fat tear rolled down her cheek, followed by another on the other side.

"I am afraid," she began, "of making the wrong choice. We have been together nearly five years and I have cherished every day. If we do this, we won't be the same as we were. I won't be the same. What happens if you change your mind about us? I would rather die than lose you over some damn silly fantasy."

I softly caressed her cheek with the palm of my left hand. I held the hand up, flashing my wedding band.

"Do you see that?

"Yes," Danni sniffed.

I slipped my right hand under her left, displaying her ring.
"See that?"

She nodded. I placed my left hand over hers, interlocking our fingers.

"That means forever," I replied. "I meant it then; I mean it now. I love you with all of my heart and I would rather die than abuse your trust. You have to admit; this has been the best sex we have had, ever. With all of that going for us, how can it be wrong? The fact that you are getting so emotional over this – just like a woman – says to me we are making exactly the right choice. That doesn't seem so 'silly' to me.

"Danielle, as good as the last five years have been – and they have been very good - this past few days, this night, and what we just experienced were pure magic. I felt it. I know you did, too. Many people live out their entire lives without ever experiencing what we just did. I would not have experienced it, were you not in my life and the person you are. For us, the magic is just beginning. I promise you; if this doesn't work out, we will find our way back to a place where we can both be comfortable. Our love for one another will still be there, regardless. Please, give the magic a chance – for you, for me, for us."
