[Raine loves him; of course she does. But she’s also aware that Solomon is fuzzier on where love lies.]
[She’s also fairly certain he loves her. She’s waiting for him to figure it out himself. He’ll get there eventually.]
[So her promises to him are rather more about expressing love without saying it, as follows:]
Love is not always the most practical thing, I’m aware. Here, then, are my promises to you:
That I will always meet you as an equal, as you have me, and give your words weight even when I disagree;
That I will put no less weight behind your dreams and goals than I would my own, and help you reach for them when you cannot do so alone;
That I will help when you are hurt, no matter how difficult it may be, and trust you in turn with my weaknesses;
and that, so long as I have the memory of you and enough life in me to reach out, you will not be alone, for I will find some way to you.
In short, I promise you companionship and partnership, trust and faith, and my life entwined with yours, so long as we have each other.
