Chapter 19

Bash

Something feels different now. Like our future is stretched out before us and we can’t veer from the course. Not that we would want to, anyway. The change in Elina since she met my mother is stark. Gone is the reluctant woman I held gently, unsure if she wanted this life I was offering her.

In her place is a strong woman, resolute.

She is enthusiastically all in. She seems to have come to some decision about herself, or our future, and is determined to follow the path she chose.

I am eternally grateful to fall asleep with her in my arms and to rise to her waiting in my bed. I hope this change is permanent.

Meeting her grandmother feels like an important step in a very slow march in our journey together. I didn’t just want Elina to love me, I needed her to choose me, and Celeste was an important catalyst for that decision. I can’t help but draw the parallels between our meetings with the respective parents. My mother cares about me the way Celeste cares about Elina, and they both threatened us not to disappoint them. I will protect Elina.

Meeting my mother forced her to make some hard choices, and decide on the spot whether she was going to put in the fight necessary for us. Once she made that decision, she quickly made plans for the rest of the pieces to be in the right place. She is prepared to stand by my side and face whatever comes next.

I love her more everyday.

I hope beyond hope that she will let me spend eternity by her side.
