Lorelei nodded. "For forever,"

"Damn I'm a lucky man..."

Lorelei just nodded, not really fully believing him. She was so messed up, she wasn't everything he deserved.

He saw her look and frowned. "Baby, look at me. You're gorgeous, kind, generous, forgiving to no end to me, understanding, helpful, loving, and the best damn girl any guy would want. 'kay?" He said softly

"I just... I just don't see why you want me... I don't get why you want a girl whos still terrified to doing it... a girl who doesn't know how to do all of this properly, who still wakes up screaming in the middle of the night..."

"Because I love you, Lorelei. Everything that has hapened to you, though absolutely unforgivable, has made you into the person you are today. I love the bright, happy parts of you all the way to the darkest pits of your pain that I wish I could take away. I love you to the ends of the earth and likely farther to unimaginable distances. I love you, Lorelei." He murmured softly

"I love you too," she whispered.

"I promised you i'd be there for you, darling" He reminded her softly

Lorelei nodded, sighing with a slight smile.

He smiled softly and held her close
