Hermann's chopping slowed. He often tried to forget the kidnapping had happened; it was a nightmare of a week, but something Newton had lived through and wasn't ever likely to forget.

He was of a mind to turn his head and kiss Newton until the man decided to open his mouth to deliver a garbled statement that had him wincing reflexively for all it would otherwise have been sweet.
He sighed, refusing to blink for the sting growing in his eyes.
"Now there's something that was never in question, married or not. Actually sounds more authentic than the usual wedding vows. Perhaps you should use it." Not that he'd really considered writing custom vows before now.
