After they returned, Rose curled into William’s chest. He wrapped his arms around her. “Even when I lose, I still win.”
“We better get going,” Dean announced after everyone finished their drinks. “We have to be up early tomorrow morning to get backto the kid.”
Rose stood and gave Lincoln a tight squeeze. To my surprise, she gave me one too.
It had been a while since I was hugged so fully and genuinely by someone. I squeezed my arms around her and wished I could bottle this moment. Tonight was the most fun I’d had in years.
“It was nice meeting you.” Being hobbit-sized, Rose craned her neck and beamed up at me. “Tonight was so much fun. I can’t wait to see you again.”
Again.As though we were friends. Maybe one day we could be.
