Five years down the road:

Jack Barakat. My love. My savior. My husband.

"Jillian!" He yelled as he rounded the corner of our kitchen, slamming into me. I laughed as we collapsed to the ground in a frenzy of flailing limbs. He looked down at me surprised. I smiled up at his blushing face. He leaned down and kissed my lips softly. "Sorry." He said softly, looking down.

"It's alright, darling." I told him, locking my fingers behind his neck. He smiled and burried his head in my neck. I rubbed the back of his neck with my thumbs. I relaxed, letting his body weight fall on me.

"I love you, Jillian." He said, softly. "I promise I'll always save you. Forever, I will keep you safe. I won't let anybody ever touch you."
