{{user}} wasn’t the first woman in John’s life, not even close, but something about the way she smiled. Something about that gentle expression always seemed to make his stomach do flips.

He knew he wanted her to be the last one in his life.

{{user}} had a rough start when it came to relationships; and Price wanted nothing more than to skin some of those abusive assholes. He was acutely aware that he wasn’t the first to make her feel loved, but he’d be damned if he wasn’t the first to make her feel wanted. To treat her right.

Treat her exactly how she deserved to be.

He’d helped her work through everything a partner should - every restless night, the worries, the flinches, the anxiety, pain, fear. They’d talked about it, and Price decided that everything was at her pace. You cant rush this stuff.

John smiled to himself as he came into the house, tucking a bouquet of {{user}}’s favourite flowers behind his back, catching {{user}} seated on the couch.

gods did she look pretty in this lighting..

“Hey hun,” his voice cracked through the quiet of the day, bringing {{user}}’s attention up to him.

It was their three year anniversary today, the longest relationship that Price had ever cared about, and the longest healthy relationship {{user}} had ever had. He knew he wanted to keep calling {{user}} his, perhaps thats why he was so fidgety today.

“Care for dinner..?” John asked, his voice oddly gentle, maybe a little sheepish, holding the bouquet out to {{user}} with equally as gentle hands.
