Two months later, Theo proposed. He handed me a new list, written in his neat handwriting. It read: “REASONS I LOVE YOU.” At the bottom: “Not even your mom’s list could scare me away.”
I said yes.
It turns out, love didn’t just transform my life—it transformed hers, too. In the end, we both became the women we were meant to be. And Theo?
He’s still wiping down tables, just in case.
