Love's Redemption
One was his discharge certificate from the army, and the other was a certificate showing his record of blood donations.
"What does this mean?" I asked, still not getting it.
Hayden pulled out the discharge certificate. "This is proof that I've been through a lot and made it out the other side—more dependable than any insurance. And this," he said, holding up the blood donation record, "shows that I've got a heart full of passion. And these cards? They hold everything I have to give."
I couldn't help but think of those dramatic scenes in novels where the hero hands over everything to show his love. But this wasn't just about money—Hayden was giving me his trust, his beliefs, his whole self.
