He was so worried that she would think he was too old for her. It was like that in the new age where parents were like this protective bear where they might have a big age difference and it would be ok, but God forbid their daughter or son found love the same way. It was a joke really. How if a eighteen year old loved a thirty or thirty five year old. It wasn't bad to.love someone older as long as you were an adult and had known the person for a while. But now it seems like it was wrong and yet he wouldn't give her up for the world because she accepted him." I ripped up that contract because you deserved a choice and I wanted to give you an out. Because in love you.  I know you love me as well and it's sweet. But sooner or later I was going to show you this." He was answering her about her saying that she would love him no matter what and felt touched that she called him handsome and as he tested his hold on her, he felt her leg slip from him." After what you've been through, I will never grip you too hard. You will always be able to rip you hand or elf from me." Then he laughed about her saying that she hoped that being younger then him and he picked his lips before burying his face into her neck and kissing it about fifteen times." You're over eighteen. You are your own woman. If you love me.... you love me. Now if you were under the age to smoke. I would be telling you to wait. But after that. If you love me.... then you are fine. But seeing how you were four, five... maybe six when I died. I doubt that I have a problem. In my mind, if you're eighteen or slightly older and you love a forty year old. Then God damn it go for it. Don't let anyone ever please your parents or someone else just you when you find that someone. I found that someone in you." He smiled brightly and felt a couple tears leave his eyes as he buried his face into her neck, giving her a meaning ful hug with a few more kisses to the neck." If you love me and I love you. Then we're fine and I love you more then any fucking thing in the world."
