On our first wedding anniversary, I told my wife I had to work late. It was a lie. I wanted to surprise her. Instead, she got angry, blocked my number, and went to the movies with her brother. What she didn't know was that I had already bought a ticket for the same showing. I was sitting directly behind them. The movie was almost over. I was just about to reveal the surprise I had prepared when I looked up and saw them kissing. Not some accidental brush of lips. They kissed more passionately than the couple on the screen. "I was brave enough to choose you," she whispered against his mouth. "Are you brave enough for me? Take one step toward me, and I'll walk the rest of the way myself." In that instant, my entire body went cold. If courage and love were what they wanted so badly, then I would give them exactly that.
