This is a wonderful piece of writing! I love how the reader is lead through the list and how it allows those glimpses at their moments together. <3
The parts that have the most impact on me are: "For he is the reason I can finally exhale for the first time in my life." "This kind of stability isn’t merely symbolic of luxury and excess; it means I never have to worry about anything again. Not really worry. Not ever again." "Without him, my abilities mean nothing. My skills are worthless without a beneficiary." "A pair of matching diamond rings that we can never wear" The last one... That one hit home. Oh, my feelings!
