“Say what?” I whispered.
“That you love me. Say it again.”
My heart thrummed in my chest, and I knew I’d never get over that feeling.
“I love you.”
Griffin smiled as his thumb brushed against my cheek. “I love you too.”
Our lips connected in a searing kiss, and I could hardly breathe because of how much I cared for him. From how important he was to me.
Chapter 30 - Sara
We had been a flurry of activity since the sun came up, loading the last of my things onto the moving truck.
We even enlisted the help of a few other very capable shifters who practically ran our boxes into the new house.
While busy, the day had been overwhelmingly emotional too.
The two houses that started it all; the place where we fought and made up more than once. The properties we bickered over, now available for someone else to begin their own story on.
It was time to say goodbye to it and to welcome ourselves into the new one.
While the rooms looked mostly empty aside from the boxes waiting to be unpacked, Griffin and I moved through the house to get another look before we had the chance to really make our mark on it.
We couldn’t wipe the happy smiles from our faces all the while.
The house was bigger to accommodate our growing needs, and it represented a new start for us. A place to step off from and to leave the past behind us.
While there was nothing wrong with our old houses, the new one felt so perfect. It was beautiful, and I was beyond excited to get started.
Our friends had scarcely left by the time we started unpacking. From morning to evening, we did our best to get done as much as we could.
Since most of our focus had been on the lower level, we neglected the top floor—our bedroom in particular.
When our exhaustion got the better of us, we made our way up there and both flopped onto the unmade bed. We didn’t even know where our sheets or blankets were, and neither of us could be bothered to care.
My feet were sore and my whole body was begging for a break. It had been a long day, and we both deserved the rest.
“I can’t believe we’re here,” I murmured, looking up at the ceiling with a grin. My cheeks hurt from all the smiling.
“Our first place together,” Griffin hummed, eyes bright with his enthusiasm about it.
“It’s perfect.”
“Especially when this little one arrives,” he added, turning over enough to reach an arm out. He rubbed the small swell of my belly fondly. “We’ll need all the room we can get.”
Giggling at the thought, I soaked in the warmth from his palm, grateful for his unwavering support and commitment to our baby before they had even arrived. “This house will be so full of love; we won’t even recognize the place from how it is now.”
“I never thought I’d be this excited to become a father, but it’s time,” he commented, letting his thumb brush soft circles over my bump. “I’m not getting any younger.”
“I’m sure you’ll have no problem keeping up with him.”
Griffin cocked a brow in my direction. “Him, huh? How do you know?”
I shrugged. “I just have a feeling. Plus, I’ve been getting better at divination.”
He chuckled at that. “I’m glad to hear it. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I can’t wait to meet them.”
