"I love you more!" I said, meaning it.
Her full lips split into a smile, as her eyes danced with the excitement of being free and in my arms. "Prove it!" She said tauntingly.
I smiled in response and said, "It would be my pleasure."
We kissed each other at the same time then. Her hands held my face to hers with passion, even as I slipped her body meant for loving up into my arms and turned to head blindly for the bed that I had made further up the beach.
I'd been figuring it would take me about a month or two to build our new boat, but I was going to have to revise that estimate upwards dramatically given the living distraction that I held in my arms. I didn't mind. I didn't have anywhere to be or bills that needed to be paid. I was wonderfully past all that life draining bother now.
My first life had been worth the living and now at the rebirth of a second life I could say the same about it too. God is good and life is worth the living just because He lives.
