“Uh-huh, sure, that’s when it started.” The crush for the sixteen years before that and the seduction fails didn’t need to be mentioned.

He smiled. “Okay, maybe it was seeing you in your lacrosse shorts and that sexy mouth guard in your last game that started me realizing I might have other thoughts about you. You were so cute.”

I propped up and noted his smirk in using that word I detested. “Was it when I was chasing after the balls?”

“Have I mentioned how much I adore you?”

“You might not feel the same when I name our dog Beaver.”

He threw his head back and laughed. “That wouldn’t be a good idea. Think about telling your first class full of kids what your dog’s name is.”

I grinned. “No, probably not. When you said that, I got chills. Ms. Lane: future music teacher.”

“I’m willing to bet that might not be your last name by the time you’re teaching in the classroom. I mean, what could be better street cred than being a music teacher named Mrs. Singer?”

“Damn. Is that a proposal?” I couldn’t help but tease him.

“No way. I may not be the best with all of our previous firsts, but I sure as hell won’t mess up when I ask you to marry me.”

My heart fluttered. “Good. Now come here and kiss me like it’s the second time.”
