“You’re sure?”
I rolled my eyes. “Am I some shy broad who doesn’t speak her mind? No. I told you when you pissed me off last month when you thought texting ok, with two letters, was fine. I’m better with you. We’re better together.”
He sighed and rested his forehead against me. “I like the sound of that.”
“Good, now I should eat before I’m late.”
“Right.” He ran his hands down my body and lifted me off the counter. “Can I drop you off this morning, so that way I can swing by later to get you before meeting my grandma for dinner? Her boyfriend can still drive, so they’re heading this way.”
“Oh, I’d love that.” I beamed at him, so damn happy life worked out the way it had. “I think she wanted Dean to come this time too. Want to invite him?”
“Absolutely.” He pointed to the island. “Now sit, so I can feed you.”
It’s funny how you could plan exactly what you thought would happen. I hadplansthis past year, ones that I swore I’d do. Yet they all veered in different directions, and it was amazing. I got Luca, his grandma, and this internship. I learned about what motivated me and what I wanted to do in the world, all while having Luca by my side. I was a lucky girl, and while he joked about getting married, I couldn’t wait.
Lorelei Monroe had a great ring to it after all.
