It meant more to her than he could have known. Lifting her eyes, she did look at him, and in doing so, she murmured, "I do." She swallowed the hard knot in her throat as she continued to look into his eyes. "I do trust you. And for it..." her lips trembled, eyes threatening as they wet with tears. "I fear for us. Fear for the future. Fear... for everything."
