What froze his heart

-25-

She was laying on her stomach her back and side completely exposed. I started to trace the tattoo and she smiled with her eyes closed then I noticed scars on her back. I ran my finger over them and she said
" you never asked what I was the leader of "
Still, with her eyes closed, she said
" Savana she's kinda like the Candor Dawn is like Amity Ken Abnegation and well I'm Dauntless ... we aren't like them we teach everyone how to be Honest peaceful selfless and brave all at the same time ... Divergent as it would have been called there in Chicago inside the wall "
I looked at her and she opened her eyes
" you forgot one "
" ah yes Erudite the smart "
She laughed a little and the smile on her face fell and she looked at me with eyes full of love
" I missed you more than you'll ever know "
I kissed her and smiled because I felt the same
" what are they from "
As soon as the words left my mouth I could feel the blood drain from my face
" sorry "
I said trying to quickly take it back but it didn't work
" no, it's ok Ummm there from sharp rocks and close calls with guns and angry people "
I knew she was strong I always have but she's shone me that's she's even stronger then I could have ever imagined. I started to cry a little
" what's wrong "
She said gently wiping the tears from my face with her thumb
" you're just the strongest person I've ever know and I just love you so fucking much "
She wrapped her arms around me. After a while I said
" you know I've only heard you swear twice "
And I started to laugh
" why is that so funny "
She smiled and I said
" nothing "
We kissed again and for the first time in a long time I felt like I was home.

As the days went on we planned our wedding and the kids really grew close to me. Now it's been a year and a half we are still happy and every day I feel like the luckiest guy in the world well what's left of it that I have her. Carter is still the leader of her part and well I'm the leader of the intelligence. I would say nothing bad can happen but I don't know what tomorrow holds and that's ok as long as I have my legend of a wife and two happy kids it will all be ok and I've still only heard her swear twice.
