You love all of me, because you have your own ruthlessness, your own violence. You taught me the only true gentleness I’ve ever known. You taught me that kindness isn’t weakness. I’ve learned that I’m just as manly helping Nathaniel cook dinner as I am taking him to the shooting range. You tore my life apart, then showed me I could rebuild it into something better for myself.

If you asked me to change, you were willing to change with me and find a better way of being together; for all that and more I would put a bullet through anyone’s head. I would burn the world down if it would keep you safe and meant that we could go on loving each other one more day.
