Never in his life did Rafe think he would find a girlfriend for good, especially one who would one day become his wife. He had always believed that his life would be one big party where he would meet faces that he would forget the next day.
All his life he lived with the belief that he was incapable of giving love to anyone because he had never received it himself.
But when you came into his life, Rafe knew he had to do everything he could to make you the happiest girl in the world. You were the one. You never judged him for who he was. You listened to his problems, helped him overcome them and get back on his feet, but most of all, you gave him a feeling he had never known.
That's why he didn't hesitate to put a ring on your finger, which was a promise that one day you would be his wife.
But now that it was actually happening, his thoughts began to eat him up inside. All the bad thoughts that he thought had gone away the moment you came along. He was afraid. Afraid that he wouldn't be up to the task and that he would disappoint the person he loved. That when he married you, he wouldn't be a good husband to you.
He leaned against the door frame behind which you were getting ready for the ceremony, knocking gently. "Baby? It's me, can we...talk for a second?"
