“If it is a dream, I don’t want to wake up. I want to be with you forever.” Richard said.
“I love you, Richard DuBois. I love all of you. Thank you for being my friend and for wanting to mark me.”
“Why wouldn’t I want to mark you?” He asked.
“Because my first mate cheated. I didn’t want you to think I only accepted you to protect myself. That’s why I didn’t bring up marking. I wanted you to be the one to suggest it, so you knew I wasn’t just thinking about what he did to me.” I replied.
“I never even considered it. I know you think about him and what he did. I expect that you’ve compared us since the day we met.”
“And you are better than him in every way. Your heart and mind are open. You’re kind and helpful without expecting repayment. You’re much more attractive.” I told him.
