The only thing that answered my question was a soft snore, signaling my boyfriend’s descent into dreamland. I held him gently, careful not to jostle the still-injured body in my arms.

I wondered about tomorrow, about the weeks to come, because I wasn’t really tired enough to sleep. Jonathan would finally pay for what he’d done to Jason, and the secrets that had threatened to suffocate us were finally out in the open. My boyfriend’s nightmare was over.

Everything was changing, and I prayed it was for the better. I took in the room. This was a good place for him, a place where he could heal. The people who had stepped up to tell Jason unequivocally that they were his family—Uncle Charlie, Uncle Mark, Tina, Joshua, Kevin, all of them—had been there when Jason had needed them most, and I was proud to be among the number who had stepped up to prove to my boyfriend that the other people in his life were wrong about his worth. It was what my beautiful boy deserved.

Beyond that, I think I finally figured out what quiet strength meant. It was asking for help when you needed it and knowing your limits. It was loving with everything you had and loving yourself just as much. What did all that mean for our future?
So far, so good
. It was the last thought I had before I drifted off to sleep, despite my lack of real tiredness, a smile on my lips.
