@AstralZeal As I look up in anticipation at her tearful eyes and damp cheeks, I can feel my own tears start to fall. Thankfully they waited until I was able to ask her the most important question of my life. With anyone else I would be ashamed of this perceived moment of weakness, but I +

@AstralZeal - hell she doesn’t turn on her heel and go out the door. ————— September 17th, 2021 When I no longer feel like my heart is going to burst from my chest, I lean back enough to untangle her from my chest. Pulling the navy handkerchief square from my jacket pocket, I start +
@AstralZeal - to dab it under her eyes. Even mascara smudged and cheeks stained with tears she’s the most beautiful sight I’ve seen. “How about that drink, my love?”
