Come to Me Softly (Closer to You #2)(94)
Author: A.L. Jackson

But that night one year ago was far from our beginning.

A rumble in the distance stole our attention. We turned to watch the first explosion of color lift to the sky from afar. Still it was palpable, like the three of us felt it, the twines of color wrapping through us, weaving through our hearts and our spirits and the fabric of our beings.

Making us one.

Maybe a year ago was the first time we’d given in to it, to this unseen bond that had been bred in us.

But this . . .

I leaned back into Jared, letting him hold me up, this man who had thought himself so weak who had become my rock. The foundation of who I had become.

This . . . this had begun long ago.

This connection I would cherish for all my life.

One I would wake up each day and give thanks for.

This amazing love that began in a boy who grew up to be my man.
