The months that followed were a whirlwind of activity as Julian and Anne built their life together. They found a beautiful house on the outskirts of town, with a big backyard and a porch perfect for watching sunsets.
They spent their weekends furnishing the house, picking out paint colors, and planning their future. Julian's physical therapy continued, but he was making great progress, and Anne was proud of his determination.
One evening, as they sat on their porch, watching the stars twinkle to life, Julian turned to Anne with a serious expression. "I've been thinking about our future," he said, his voice low.
Anne's curiosity was piqued. "What about it?" she asked, her voice soft.
Julian took a deep breath. "I want to start a family," he said, his eyes locked onto hers. "I want to have kids, to watch them grow up, to be a good father."
Anne's heart swelled with emotion. "I want that too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Julian's face lit up with a smile. "Really?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement.
Anne nodded, feeling her heart full of joy. "Really," she replied, squeezing his hand gently.
As they sat there, watching the stars, Anne knew that their future was bright. They would face challenges, but together, they would build a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of Julian's phone ringing. He answered it, and after a brief conversation, he turned to Anne with a surprised expression.
"What is it?" Anne asked, her curiosity piqued.
Julian smiled. "It's an offer to partner on a new project," he said, his eyes sparkling. "One that could change everything."
Anne's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of project?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement.
Julian's smile grew wider. "Let's talk about it over dinner," he said, pulling her close.
As they walked into the house, hand in hand, Anne knew that their future was full of possibilities.
