"I said," Koa Jackson brought his thin lips close to her ear, using an unbelievably gentle and indulgent tone, slowly, word by word, saying, "I love you. With all the time, passion, and energy I have left in my life, is that okay?"
"Brother Jackson." Mia Ginger laughed and cried, crashing heavily onto his chest and holding him tightly.
Koa Jackson held her even closer, raised his hand to rub her trembling and slender shoulders, and said with a smile, "I rarely make promises and never swear, but I'll make an exception for you. With this commitment, whether you are foolish or dazed, or in poverty and distress, I will never leave you nor forsake you, care for you and love you, so..."
He straightened Mia Ginger's body, looking into her eyes, seriously saying, "Deaf or blind or mute, it doesn't matter—once I've made up my mind, it won't change. Put your mind at ease, consider me your other half, no secrets, no doubts, can you do that?"
