NIKKI BYRD — writer, thinker, lover

You know, I thought that being a divorce attorney would have just soured me on relationships… and then I met you. And I found myself telling my clients to reconcile, because I think that if they could find even just a tiny little bit of the happiness that I’ve found with you they could make it.

I’ve been thinking about that time we went to the little bed-and-breakfast in the country and we sat in that porch swing all night. When I looked at the sky, you told me your dad and you used to sit on your step and do the same thing when you were a kid. He said that the only man good enough for you would “scoop the stars out of the sky with his hat and lay them at your feet.” Well… [taking ring out] I’ve only caught this one so far. But if you’ll accept it, I’ll spend my life chasing down the rest of them for you.
