And moving out.
He slid his arm around my waist. “You’ll be moving in with me in the Marina and Pacific Heights isn’t that far, babe. You’re not losing her.”
I sighed. “I know, it’s just—ah!”
Icy water suddenly rushed over our bare feet and I giggled as the wet sand gushed around my toes. Will laughed at me as the bottom of my dress was soaked and once again I marveled at how much he changed in a year. He laughed all the time. There was always a smile on his face—and Luke warmed up to him considerably. Nowadays, they were inseparable. Jessica and I joked that they were even closer than we were.
He grabbed my hand once again, and I was surprised by how fast my heart beat. Every time he smiled at me, I felt butterflies soar.
“You know what this reminds me of?”
“What?”
“Cinque Terre.”
He smiled at the memory. “Yeah.”
It was where I fell in love with him. It was where I saw the most incredible sights. Monterey had little in common with Cinque Terre. Whenever I saw the ocean, I thought about that brilliant turquoise and azure blue stretched out under a cliff of bright green vineyards.
“You’ll see it again,” he said, noticing my look. “Maybe sooner than you think.”
I grinned hard. It was my birthday in a few months. “Don’t spoil anything!”
He held up his hands. “I’m not spoiling! I said, ‘maybe.’”
Rolling my eyes, I squeezed his hand and planted a kiss on his cheek. “How’s WPF?”
WPF was the acronym for the William Pardini Foundation, which he launched months ago when we finished the website. Jessica helped write the content. The launch was one of the proudest moments of my life.
“It’s going awesome, and it’s all down to you.”
I looked at him. “Will, come on.”
“I would have never done it if you hadn’t pushed me.”
“I did it because I wanted your body,” I ribbed.
I yelped as he spun me around and held me to his chest.
“Well, it worked.” He leaned over me and paused, looking more serious than usual. “I love you.”
My passionate kiss ended any more idle talk and soon his hands were smoothing my shoulders and his eyes gleamed with the need to have me alone in our vacation rental on the beach. His gaze flicked toward it.
“Let’s go,” I whispered in his ear.
We ran down the beach, hand in hand.
