Liam steps closer to me, his hand returning to my waist, my hand settling on the hard wall of his chest, and the way his heart thunders beneath my palm, I know he is as affected by this as I am.
“Amy,” he says, his voice low, gravelly.
“Liam,” I say, barely managing a whisper.
“Before I met you I was living a shell of an existence, broken in ways I didn’t understand, but I now do. I need you in my life, Amy, and I vow to love you with all I am. I know sometimes that will be good and sometimes bad, but whatever the case, it will always be honest. You are everything to me, and I will do everything to protect you, love you, and make you happy.”
I smile tremulously. “You already make me happy—and suddenly I can’t remember the vows I wrote. I don’t want to regret not saying them. I love you, Liam. I love you so much, and—” He kisses me, a tender, sweet kiss full of promise, and when his lips leave mine, he whispers, “Breathe.”
I smile again. “Because of you.”
“Then breathe with me for the rest of your life.”
“Rings, please,” Dr. Murphy says.
Gia steps forward and gives me Liam’s ring.
“Amy Bensen,” Dr. Murphy says, “do you take Liam Stone to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love, cherish, and honor him for the rest of your life?”
“I do,” I say, and my hand trembles so much Liam has to help me slip it on his finger.
Then Derek gives my rings to Liam.
“Liam Stone,” Dr. Murphy says, “do you take Amy Bensen to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love, cherish, and honor her for the rest of your life?”
“I do,” he says, and slips the rings onto my finger.
“Then the magical moment is here!” She declares, “I now pronounce you man and wife, and you may kiss the bride.”
Liam cups my face, staring down at me. “Mrs. Stone,” he says softly.
“Mr. Stone,” I say, smiling, and when he kisses me the room erupts in cheers.
Apart, Liam and I were indeed broken. But together, we are unbroken.
