I have to breathe through that one. Two years of grief and a lifetime of getting it wrong, and the man puts it into a single sentence in the dark.
So I do the only thing big enough to answer it.
I tap his chest, right over his own heart, the one that took the longest of all of us to start beating.
"Still jealous?"
He laughs, low and real, and presses a kiss to my forehead, and pulls me in like he's got no intention of ever letting the distance get rude again.
"Always," Mr. H says. "But now I don't have to pretend I'm not."
And I lie there in the dark with my head on the chest of the most honorable man I know, wearing a dead girl's gift and a living man's love, and I finally understand what the H stood for all along.
Hot. Honorable.
Hers.
Still. Always. Hers.
The End
Romans 8:28 NLT And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
