settle on down with me | @saramck

And when he’d said “go out with me” all soft and reassuring and hopeful, it had nearly broken her resolve. Because Emma knew he wasn’t just asking her to dinner or to the movies, he was asking her to give him so much more.

To hold hands, and share slow kisses, and press close together underneath Emma’s worn sheets.

To take Henry to daycare, and to the park, and to Granny’s for breakfast.

To buy a house, and say “yes,” and to get married.

To watch their kids grow up.

It wasn’t just “go out with me” – it was “make a life with me” and “trust me” and “love me.”

It was a future. It was  home.
