 The rain pattered softly against the windows of your shared home. It felt appropriate; rain marks change, the start of new growth in a season. You hoped this was a sign of good fortune, and that your and Adrian’s paths were headed toward the right direction. Your flight was leaving in the evening, and after this, neither of you truly knew what would happen. Adrian trusted in God to guide him, and you trusted in Adrian. He would know how to keep himself safe, and how best to complete his mission. He was determined in his ability to save these creatures, and that determination was why you loved him.

 You set the extra mug in your hand down on the table he was sat at, pulling his attention away from his laptop where he had been diligently working. He turned to look up with you, appreciation evident in his eyes.

 “Thank you,” He murmured, taking a sip of his coffee as you sat down beside him. “How are you feeling?”

 “Nervous, of course,” You replied, “but not afraid.”

 “Are you positive you want to go with me? It’s not too late to change your mind,” Adrian said, a hint of nerves creeping into his own voice as well.

 “I’ve been by your side this far, I’m not leaving you now,” Your answer was simple and resolute. You rest your hand on his shoulder, to which he pressed his own hand on top of. He gave it a reassuring squeeze, before he brought it to his lips and kissed your knuckles.

 “I thank God everyday for blessing me with you,” Adrian smiled, causing butterflies to well up inside you. “We’re going to do so much good in His name, just wait. We’re going to protect people. We’re going to save people.”
