Relieved of the searing pain in his arm, Sterling let out a sharp breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Thank you," he said sincerely. "I appreciate what you just did for me."
Faye nodded, her gentle demeanor unwavering. "It's my pleasure, sweet husband." She leaned in and placed a tender kiss on his stubbled cheek. "Taking care of you is important to me. It gives me purpose, something I have lacked for a very long time until you came along."
Sterling couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for his new wife's unwavering dedication. A broad grin spread across his face as he expressed his gratitude, "I'm really glad that it's you taking care of me. I love you, Faye Thayer." he brushed his thumb over her flushed cheek.
Her smile turned even softer as she gently placed her hand on his arm. "Not to worry, I will always be here for you, my love. Just as you have been for me."
