“You recruited half the town.”

“I did not.”

“You put an AirTag on my truck.”

“That was resourceful.”

“It was illegal.”

“Debatable.”

“It isn't.”

Her smile trembles.

I reach for her hand. “You kept finding me.”

Her fingers tighten around mine.

“No matter how many times I disappeared, you kept fucking finding me.”

Tears spill over now.

I hate seeing her cry. Even when I know why.

My thumb moves over her knuckles. “You don't have to look anymore, Chaos.”

Her lips part.

“I'm right here.”

She makes another broken little sound.

Fuck. I should've stopped there.

But there's one more thing.

“Marry me.”

She stares at me.

I wait.

Nothing.

“Callie.”

Still nothing.

Now I'm getting concerned. “Chaos?”

“I told you.”

I blink. “What?”

“I told you this was going to happen.”

I stare at her.
