“Yeah?”
“Can I travel with you and the team when your shoulder is better next season? I thought about it a lot. I want to be there with you for all of it. Every game. All the boring hotels. But I don’t want you to feel smothered, so if it’s too much–”
“I’d fucking love that,” he says, lifting his hand to my cheek. “You couldn’t smother me if you tried.”
“No?” I ask, forcing a psychotic little glint to go in my eyes. I lift the tiny pillow the flight attendant gave me earlier and raise it toward his mouth. “What about in your sleep?”
He laughs and swats the pillow out of my hand and kisses me softly on the lips. “I want you with me as much as I can get. If you want to come to my games, I’d love that. You can stay at the team hotel with me and travel with me any time you want. As much as you want.”
I hug him again and close my eyes. Happiness pulses through every fiber of my body and makes me feel suddenly and overwhelmingly sleepy. I just want to curl up in this moment and never let it go.
And if it turns out this is all just the world’s most perfect dream, I’m going to hold Jesse to his promise. I’m going to track his ass down, make him love me again, and do this all over.
For ever and ever.
The End.
