We're all still talking it over, but I wanna give you somethin'," said Jesse. They take this thing all so darn seriously. "Miles and Ma and Pa, they don't know how to live. "You gonna live forever with me?" Jesse asked finally. We're not settled in ourselves with life yet, but are you sure?" He asked. My brain laughed at me while my heart patted my back. You invited me to, and I don't know why, but I need to be with you." Jesse kissed my forehead and bent down on one knee.īut then it went back when Jesse had to look me in the eye from being so tall.
