She put her hands on my waist and gazed up at me. “I told you everything was going to be fine.”
I leaned over and wrapped my hand around the nape of her neck, pulling her close. “You did.”
“I love you,” she whispered, staring into my eyes.
“I love you too.”
I pressed my lips to hers, kissing her once everyone was out of the room—like we were just a couple of kids.
APRIL
PAM
I am fulfilled.
I deserve the love I receive.
I am grateful for the people who love me.
I let out a deep breath and opened my eyes, thankful it was finally warm enough in Briar Glenn to take my yoga practice outside. A spring breeze whipped by, showering me with a flurry of cherry blossoms and sending a chill down my spine.
Maybe I was getting ahead of myself with the warm enough stuff.
Alistair burst through the door of his RV, drawing my attention.
“Got you some coffee, sweetheart,” he said, carefully walking over with two steaming mugs in his hands.
“Thank you, babe.” I grabbed the mug and took a sip.
Just how I liked it.
Gods, he was the man of my dreams.
He sat on his mat with a groan, taking a sip of his coffee as more cherry blossoms rained down on us.
“I can’t believe I get to call this place home.” Tilting his head back, his curls blowing in the breeze, he grinned.
“Better than Colorado?” I asked, admiring how handsome he looked.
He set his cup down and looked over at me. “Of course it’s better than Colorado. You’re here.”
I felt my cheeks growing hot.
Months later and I was still swooning over him.
Speaking of swooning.
“Tell me again how you got those Alanis tickets.” I raised my brows and took another sip of my coffee.
He chuckled. “I told you, I know a guy who knows an orc.”
“Alistair Reid, I swear if you paid an arm and a leg for those tickets—”
“Shhh. A concert is on the list. We have to do it.”
The list of all the things I’d never done that we were slowly working our way through.
We sat there for a second, listening to the rustle of the trees swaying in the breeze, before Alistair finally spoke.
