Months had passed since the accident, and Julian's recovery had been nothing short of miraculous. He still had some physical limitations, but his determination and Anne's support had helped him overcome many challenges.
One sunny morning, as they sat on their porch, holding hands, and watching the sunrise, Julian turned to Anne with a smile. "You know what I've been thinking?" he said, his eyes sparkling.
Anne's curiosity was piqued. "What's that?" she asked, her voice soft.
Julian's smile grew wider. "I think it's time we start a new chapter in our lives," he said, his voice filled with excitement. "Maybe buy a house, start a family... build a life together."
Anne's heart skipped a beat. She had always dreamed of building a life with Julian, and now it seemed like that dream was within reach.
"I'd love that," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Julian's face lit up with joy. "Really?" he asked, his voice filled with hope.
Anne nodded, feeling her heart full of emotion. "Really," she replied, squeezing his hand gently.
As they sat there, watching the sun rise over the horizon, Anne knew that their future was bright. They would face challenges, but together, they would build a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.
Julian leaned in, his eyes locked onto hers. "I love you," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.
Anne's heart swelled. "I love you too," she replied, her voice soft.
Their lips met in a gentle kiss, sealing their promise to build a life together. As they pulled back, Anne smiled, feeling her heart full of joy.
"Let's do this," she said, her voice filled with determination.
Julian grinned, his eyes sparkling. "Let's do this," he replied, pulling her close.
Their future was uncertain, but one thing was clear: they would face it together, as a team, as a family.
