“You think if I went to church and prayed, God would have made my parents stop hitting me?”
She thought of all the nights spent on her knees in tears. “No. He didn’t make Jeremy stop hitting me.”
“Then what’s the point?”
She lifted a shoulder. “Hope, I guess. We both did get through it, didn’t we? We’re alive and we’re here, and we found each other. Maybe this is our reward. Maybe He did get us out of there and brought us together.”
“Well, whatever or whoever it was, I’m grateful.” He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. “If it was God, then I’ll thank Him every day for you. And if not, then I’ll thank my lucky stars and hope that I never mess this up.”
“You won’t.”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Being the first person to see me and still love me,” he said, tracing the outline of the contours of her face.
“Thank you for letting me. And for loving me back.”
“Easiest thing I’ve ever done.”
