After this morning and Bryan's nightmare, I knew that my decision to bring him out here was the right thing to do.
They worry that he could have now even after we are married that I'd somehow leave him tugs at the strings of my heart.
Maybe my holding back the twisted darkness and heartache from the past was a huge mistake on my part - as much as I have told him over our years together I have still somehow kept things hidden in the depths of my past.
And that brings us to the now, standing still holding hands at the start of the street I once was living in.
Turning to face him I press myself into his chest. Desperate to feel him against me, his warmth settling my racing heart.
'Wanna fill me in with what we are doing here, baby?'
'I'd like to share some places with you from my past. Places that mean something to me along with parts that slowly crushed my fragile heart' I keep my head tilted up towards his so I can watch his every expression pass through his eyes. I need to be certain that as much as I want to do this he wants this too.
I see confusion and concern flicker behind his eyes as he ponders over how to respond to me. I know a part of him has questions so he must want answers but could these emotions be because he doesn't want to push me?
'Places? What kind of places?' With a furrowed brow and a tight grip on my hand, I hold him close to me.
'Are they places you shared with Quinn or your parents?' his voice is so soft and settling that I want to wrap myself into him.
'Some of them, yeah but I thought you'd like to see into my past. What my life was like before you.' The confession passes my lips without fear as a shadowed part of my heart seems to flutter with a new lightness I confess. Feeling more and more nervous as I wait.
'Listen, you know I want to know everything about you. But - those demons that lurk deep in the shadows of your heart are painful. They hurt a part of you that I haven't been able to heal you from and I don't want to pressure you into opening those wounds.' his eyes search mine as they shimmer with deep routed emotion.
'Baby' I whisper before pressing my lips to his in a heartwarming kiss. Passing all the unspoken emotions from me to him.
'Do you honestly think I would be offering to do this with you if I didn't want to?'
'No, but -' Before he can say anything else I cut him off with another soft caress of my lips.
'So trust me, okay?' I plead, my doe wide blue eyes locked on his begging him to trust that I can do this and still emerge the same woman he loves. 'We need this. I need this'
With each word that passes my lips recognition and acceptance washes over his body, his firm muscular frame relaxing into mine. With a small weary smile, he nods his head in agreement, giving me a little reassurance.
