A full moon over downtown LA, a band playing softly on a rooftop, and a connection that felt too unlikely to belong to chance, the night two lives quietly became one.
Sometimes love changes more than the way we see another person. It changes the future we imagine, the life we recognize in ourselves, and the meaning we give to love.
He tilts his head to a sky thick with dark matter and starlight, tracing the vastness of creation back to one simple truth: gratitude for you.

He searches for eloquent words to hold what he feels, finds none equal to it, and discovers the truest ones were the simplest all along: I love you.

He closes his eyes and she is dancing again, head tipped back, dress swaying, and for a moment every worry in his day goes quiet.
He asks it twice, once for each of them, and answers before she can. A love that feels less like falling and more like something written before either of them was born.
His stare lingers, and a cool breeze sets goosebumps dancing across her arms in perfect rhythm, her pulse quickening before she can name the feeling.
