It’s special.
And somewhere along the way, I think I became part of it.
I tilt my head up toward Noah.
“Noah?”
“Yeah, Love?”
My heart pounds.
“Did I ever tell you that I love you?”
He stops moving instantly.
The music keeps playing around us, but he’s completely still.
“What?”
I swallow.
“I’m in love with you, Noah Walker.”
The words feel terrifying and wonderful all at once.
“And I want more than what we’ve been doing.”
His voice is softer now.
“What do you want?”
I take a breath.
“I think, I want everything with you.Because I think you’re my person.”
For a second, he just stares at me.
It’s a very long second.
Then he lets out a rough laugh.
“Yeah?”
His arms tighten around me.
“Well!It’s about bloody fucking time you figured it out.”
Before I can respond, he pulls me close and kisses me again.
This one is deeper.
Warmer.
Certain.
“I love you, Chiara,” he murmurs against my lips.“So fucking much.”
“You do?”
