All Yours
he murmured.
He reached into the nightstand.
Pulled out a new collar—white gold, delicate, with a small lock charm.
Daywear.
And a matching bracelet for him—same design, engraved on the inside: Hers Forever.
He fastened the collar around her neck.
She fastened the bracelet on his wrist.
“Now we match,” she said, smiling through tears.
He kissed her palm.
“Forever.”
They made love again—slow, laughing, crying.
Outside, the sea crashed endlessly.
