He was never mine
"This is about what I want, and what I want is you. Maybe at the beginning, I was blind to realize how badly I wanted you in my life. But Carm, I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you in it!"
"Liam, I…"
"Be mine again."
Pausing for a second, Carmen bit her bottom lip and then said, "I have always been yours, Liam. But are you mine?"
"I am. From this moment onward, I'm yours, Carmen." Liam uttered, staring into her teary eyes.
Then he put his hand around her waist, held her tighter as his body pressed against hers, claimed her lip, kissing her deeply with a sense of relief coursing through him.
