She gave herself to the feelings, to him. With his arms around her, his heart beating against hers, she knew she had come home, a real home she and Liam would make together. She pulled back a few inches and traced the shape of his jaw with her fingers. Strong, like the rest of him. The steady look he gave her promised everything.
Theirs wouldn’t be a life without problems—they were both too strong-willed for that—but it would be perfect because they were together.
“Will you marry me?” she asked. Since she had walked away and hadn’t given him the opportunity to ask her the last time they were together, it seemed only fitting that she do the asking now.
A huge smile broke across his face. “Yes.” He kissed her lightly. “Are you ready to take on a five-year-old boy and a puppy named Ralph who’s going to grow into a very big dog?”
“I already love Jonah. As for the puppy, how can I not love a dog named Ralph?”
His smile infinitely tender, he fitted his hands to her waist. “I’ve been looking for you for a very long time. All of my life, in fact.”
“And I, you. I’m here. With you. I’m not going anywhere. Not today. Not ever.”
“Me, either.”
His lips on hers were sweet with the heady promise of today and tomorrow and all the tomorrows after that.
“I don’t need a big fancy wedding. Just a simple ceremony with Jonah and your parents and our friends. And Ralph. There’s one thing I insist on, though,” she said when he lifted his head. She assumed her most serious expression.
“What’s that?”
“We have to have good auto insurance. Really good.”
He looked perplexed, then threw back his head and laughed. “Full coverage. I promise.”
She kissed him once more. “Perfect.”

Dear Reader,
As I told Liam and Paige’s story, I knew that I wanted to write about two strong people who were, nonetheless, broken. In Japan, broken objects are often repaired with gold. The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object’s history, which adds to its beauty.
Are we not all broken in some way? I know that I am. I am broken in many places, some more visible than others. I am broken in grief over the loss of loved ones. I am broken in pain from betrayal. I am broken in spirit when depression overcomes me.
I am broken.
And yet I know that I can be made whole once again through the atonement of the Savior. His supreme sacrifice allows me and all of us to appear once more before Him, whole, our scars repaired with the gold of His infinite love. Christ asked that our sacrifice for Him be a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
I pray that we can each find the broken parts inside us, rejoice in the refining fire of them, and then allow Jesus to heal us.
With gratitude for His love,
Jane
