It’s okay to need me. I need you. I need you more than I…
““It’s okay to need me. I need you. I need you more than I can possibly tell you, Jackie. There’s no shame in it. It’s part of loving someone. You need their heart to help complete yours.” “You love me?” I whisper, the emotions rising up my throat, choking me. The room seems to pause with my breath. “Of course I love you. I’ve only loved you. There was no before or in-between for me,” he says softly as he holds onto my hand. “All in. I’ve always been all in with you.””
