“Official? Wouldn’t that be marriage?”
Savannah went utterly still, her dark eyes boring into mine. “Maybe, though I think less than six months together might be a little early to start talking about marriage.”
“So we can discuss it again in four months?”
She laughed. “If you still want to, yes, we can.”
“I’ve told you once before, Savannah. I will always be here. As long as you love me, as long as you want me, I’ll be here. And probably even if you don’t.”
Her eyes danced. “I should probably find that last statement creepy, but I don’t. I like hearing it.” Her smile faded as she looked at me. Cupping my cheek in her hand, she said, “I love you, Rhys. I’m so glad that your destiny brought you to my door.”
“I love you too, though I think you were the one who came to my door first.”
“That’s true,” she said with a smile. “Though you were so good-looking I had no idea half of what I was saying.”
“Hm, tell me more,” I invited her, inching closer.
Savannah shook her head. “No way.” She turned her head and glanced at the clock. “We should probably get up. I’m sure it’ll take most of the day to pack your stuff and get it over here.”
“Not really. I only had one bag of clothes and a box of books when I moved in.”
Her eyes widened. “That’s all.”
Wrapping an arm around her, I rolled over onto my back and pulled her on top of my chest. “It’ll take us an hour at most.”
She hummed in her throat. “Then what will we do for the rest of the day.”
Grinning, I pulled her down for a kiss. “I’m sure we’ll think of something,” I murmured against her mouth.
Several hours later,I left a note for Savannah, who was sleeping in the bed, and walked across the street to the rental house. As soon as I entered, my cell phone rang. I removed it from my pocket and smiled when I saw the name on the screen.
“Kerry,” I greeted her.
“From the tone of your voice, I’m assuming things worked out for you and your new lady. You know, since youdidn’t call meand let me know.”
“I’m sorry,” I apologized.
“I’ll let it slide since I knew anyway, but next time I expect a phone call.”
“Of course.”
“And I also expect an invitation to the wedding,” she stated.
I laughed. “There won’t be a wedding. At least not anytime soon.”
“Rhys, don’t tell me that you aren’t willing to marry that sweet woman,” she warned.
“Oh, I’m willing and ready. She’s the one who doesn’t want get married so soon.”
Kerry laughed loud and long. “I really need to meet her. What’s her name?”
“Savannah Baker.”
Kerry was silent for a long moment. “Savannah Baker? Was her grandmother Tawna Baker?”
“I don’t know.”
“Shit, it would figure that you would move to Austin and find the granddaughter of the greatest seer the last century has ever seen. She was an amazing woman.”
