It was, indeed, breathtaking, that I could not help the impending tears from flooding my eyes. I cupped his cheeks and poured my heart out as I said, “I am so happy. I am happy that you are real, you exist, and you are here with me. What good have I ever done to deserve the angel standing before me? Thank you so much.” And then was granted the most genuine and the sweetest smile I have seen my whole life.

“I love you too,” he said.
