“Always,” he answered.
Then I got back to work.

At precisely two, one of the nurses came and found me and said, “Tall, dark, and handsome is waiting for you at the front desk.”
I grinned, “Thank you.”
As I walked to the front desk, I could hear the girls whispering.
“Who does he belong to?”
“Think I can have him?”
“Does he have a twin?”
I leaned in and whispered with a smile on my face, “Try to take him from her, and she’ll gut you.”
I walked by them and walked right to him.
Those mossy-colored eyes were on me the entire time, and when I reached him, he wrapped his hand around the back of my neck, bent his head, and pressed a kiss to my lips.
“Shit,” I heard multiple girls say.
I smiled against his lips, then he asked, “What’d you tell them?”
I lifted a brow, “You really want to know?”
He nodded.
“Told them that if they try to take him from her, she’ll gut them.”
He smiled, and then he burst into laughter, “I’ll bury the bodies for you, Star Shine.”
I knew he would.

She giggled, “Follow me.”
I grabbed the bag of food and followed her.
When we entered what I knew was the breakroom, she led me to a booth against the wall. She slid in, and I followed.
She lifted a brow, “Really?”
I winked, “Been away from you for too long. Get used to it.”
Those hazel eyes of hers sparkled.
I opened the bag and took out her food and then mine. Then I grabbed the bottle of water for me and the Cherry Lemon Sundrop for her.
