Larry ponders her words and and slows to a stop so he can look down at her. “You’ve been a great wife. It’s not easy forgiving someone for infidelity and I know you still haven’t, but the fact that you’re getting there is just something I don’t deserve.” Larry sighs quietly and silences his thoughts by leaning down and giving her a soft kiss. Once he pulls away, he chews on the inside of his cheek, trying to decide what to say to her. He was never good at verbalizing his thoughts.
“I just want you to know that however long it takes, I’ll never lose my patience and I will understand completely if you decide that you can’t find it in yourself to forgive me in the end.” He nods to himself and holds her hands in his while his thumb moves gingerly across the expanse of her knuckles. “But that doesn’t mean I want you to leave me.” He says with a slight upturn of his lips. “In fact, please don’t.” Larry breathes out a laugh as he avoids her eyes.
Ally purses her lips slightly against the tender kiss, before turning her eyes back up to him when he pulls back. “Mm… everyone deserves a chance at f o r g i v e n e s s, and eventually we’ll get there. Patience is all that we can have, y’know? It most certainly doesn’t come overnight, that’s to be expected…” She states, while clearing her throat as she squeezes her husbands hand gently and glances down absently at her shoes for a moment as she continues to listen to what he had to say after that point. When he begins speaking once more, Ally furrows her brows slightly, and shakes her head as she bites down onto her lower lip.
“I don’t foresee me going anywhere any time soon – I think we’ve p r o v e n that we’re sort of miserable without one another… do I love everything you say or do? No. Then again, I know for a fact that it’s the same for you as well. But we’ve fought through so much, it’d be completely u n a c c e p t a b l e for us to go down without a fight.” The blonde finishes with a slight rolling of her shoulders, a soft chuckle coming from her at his plea for her to not leave him, and she pushes up onto her toes to peck his lips. “You’re stuck with me… I’m sorry.”
