Until he found Gus.
Gus, who’d done everything in his power to show him his love. And his vows at the ceremony only put words to the actions and confirmed what Luca knew in his heart.
Luca hadn’t been able to get through his own vows without sobbing. When Gus had started talking, tears had streamed down Luca’s cheeks, and he’d been thankful for the veil hiding his face. Gus’s deep voice had been full of emotion and had broken several times. Luca would remember every word, forever.
Luca. I wrote my vows the day after I asked you to marry me. I was so happy, my heart overflowing, and I couldn’t keep all my emotions inside. So I wrote them down. I practiced my words a million times, and if you were to wake me up in the middle of the night after a thirty-six-hour shift at the hospital, I would still be able to say them back to you.
