"Do you have any idea how much you mean to me?" Joaquin's voice is soft, barely above a whisper. He'd speak louder, but Orlando is sleeping, looking so warm and innocent as he lies there, curled against Joaquin, dark curls splayed across his pillow.

It's been a year since that day. A year since a bullet completely shattered his world. A year since Orlando had picked up the pieces and put them back together. Joaquin knows he would have been lost, would still be lost, if not for that unswerving love and faith.

He thanks God for that every day.
