He was on his way home even though all he would like was to stay with her for the rest of his life. Was he making hasty decisions? No, because he had never been sure of his plans.
For the first time in his young life, he had been thinking clearly about what he wanted for his future. Not only for his career but his personal life. It was as bright and evident as the sun shining above him. He wanted a family.
"I love you so much, Ria."
He remembered declaring his love for her last night after their passionate lovemaking. He might have said it during the heat of his desire, but he meant every word of it.
He finally believed that he discovered love most unexpectedly with an incredible woman that he wished to be the mother of his children. Yes, he was ready to build a family with her.
Unfortunately, she did not say it back to him. Instead, "Thank you, Zach, for everything." She said after she had come down from the clouds.
