Oh. He's first. He hears the other giggling beyond his own and just smiles wider. It would've probably been a good idea to write this down, but everything he'd written down sounded stupid and since when has he really thought about anything he's said?
He clears his throat and straightens up a little, trying to fight the giggles with the serious. Deep breaths. "Donna, we've been together a long time. In and out, off and on, but always together. There were some bad days where it felt like you were the only person in the world that even acknowledged me. I was never alone as long as I had you, and you promised me that. I needed to hear that. I don't think I'd be here right now if I hadn't heard that from you when I did.
"I love you, Donna, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure you know it. I will protect you, love you, and never leave you. I'll do everything in my power to make the bad times a little better, and the good times great. I'll help you reach your goals, and be there for every step with you. I will never lie to you or even try. There are no secrets between us. I will always let you be you, because that's the woman I fell in love with. I want to have a family with you and share every single day of the rest of my life with you. There is nobody else. There never really has been. And I'm going to spend my life honoring, protecting, respecting, and loving you as best I can."
