“If that’s what you want, that’s what I’ll try to be for you. Life won’t be easy for you. I’ll probably still be possessive and jealous.”

“And loving.”

“Oh, yes.” He nodded, taking her into his arms with enormous tenderness. “Always loving. Is that compensation enough?”

Joy rippled through her like a glowing sunlit river. “Compensation?” She kissed him gently. “Jordan, loving is all that matters. Don’t you know that?”

He nodded, his smile as joyous as her own. “I think you’re beginning to teach me. I hope you’ll still think so fifty years from now.”

“I will,” she whispered as she gazed up at him lovingly. “You can count on it.”
