Even after all these years of marriage, she still makes my heart race—and sometimes, I catch myself just staring at her, thinking… damn, how did I land that?

She came into my life like a comet crashing into Earth—sudden, blinding, unstoppable. One moment I was drifting through the ordinary, and the next, everything was lit up with her fire. She didn’t just enter my world—she rewrote the whole god damn map.

She gets more beautiful each year, each day… I never saw myself as a family man, but she sure changed that. Her belly was round and swelled with life, and suddenly, everything I thought I knew about love cracked wide open.

“Daddy!” his son yelled, bursting through the back door with wild hair and muddy shoes. “I want to show you what I found in the yard!”

He barely had time to set down his coffee before the little whirlwind grabbed his hand, tugging him toward the garden like it was the most urgent mission on Earth. And maybe, in his son’s world, it was.

He looked back just once—just long enough to see her leaning in the doorway, smiling with that knowing look. The one that said, this is our chaos, our joy, our everything. The one that reminded him she saw him—not just the man chasing a muddy kid across the yard, but the man she chose. Over and over again.

And damn, he’d choose her just the same, every lifetime, without hesitation.
