it's always been you.

"You can do so much better than that."

Finn said.

"Shut up."

I said, looking up from the treadmill.

"Well, you want back in the ring. I'm gonna push you."

Finn said.

"I'm not even cleared to train yet."

I said, glaring at him.

"That's why I'm pushing you to beyond your limits. Now go faster."

Finn said, turning the treadmill up another level.

"Do you want me to trip and fall?"

I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No. Although it would be funny."

Finn said.

"I hate you."

"I love you too."

Finn said, kissing me.

Later That Night

"Babe?"

Finn called as I finished cooking dinner.

"Yes?"

I asked.

"Can we talk for a second?"

Finn asked, sitting at the island.

"Sure."

I said, sitting across from him.

"I just want you to know...I'm so proud of the progress you've made. Not just in your knee injury, but after everything. After all the bullshit with Aaron and Seth. After all that Aaron bullshit before and after we had the twins. You always came back. Even when we were on the brink of our second divorce, you came back. Everyday I wonder how I get so lucky to be so, so in love with you. Everyday I thank god that you didn't leave me because I have absolutely no idea what I would do without you. You're my everything, Bayley. I wish I could somehow put into words the love I express every time I look at you. Or look at your smile. Or even look at the kids. Because all I see in them is you. I see your kindness. I see your love. I see you. Gosh, I just fall for you a little more everyday Bayley. I'm so freakin in love with you it hurts."

Finn said as I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Finn. I-I don't know what to say."

"Then don't say anything. Let this do the talking."

Finn said, kissing me.

"Remember. It was always you."

The End

Maybe...
