27 Truths: Ava's Story (The Truth About Love book 1)
“— J. Ingrid Espino In our bedroom, I begin to pack. Tomorrow, we fly to Chicago where I will meet seven women whose children have disabilities that will forever affect them.
“Why?” I ask myself out loud.
An arm snakes around my waist and pulls me back until I hit a warm hard body. “Why what?”
I turn and hug him. “Those poor women.”
“Page ten, Love shows in her empathy.”
I look up at him and smile slightly.
“Page eleven, Love is in the compassion she carries.” He smiles, making me smile.
“Page twelve,” I tell him, “her love is because of his. Thank you. Thank you for today, thank you for yesterday, and thank you for tomorrow.”
He cups the side of my face and kisses my forehead. “No, Ava, thank you.”
“Are you scared?” I whisper.
“No. Things won’t change, Ava. We won’t let it. Regardless.”
“When are we going to get married?” I ask as quickly as I feel it. It sounds needy, and honestly, it is. I need to be his wife.
His smile … God, his smile makes me love him even more.
