“I love you, Claire.”
Dropping my head back against his shoulder, I sigh. For so long I’ve looked at my life as one big missed opportunity, but not anymore. Now I have Trevor, and I’m going to seize every moment I can.
“I love you, too.”
“One day soon that’s going to be us. I’m going to ask you to marry me.”
I try to turn in his arms, but they tighten around me, holding me in place as we watch our closest friends and family celebrate.
“You’re going to say yes, right? When I ask you?” he says, his warm breath blowing against my ear.
I nod. “Yes.”
I feel his body relax against mine. I hate that I ever walked away from him, that even for a moment I led him to believe I wasn’t in this for the long haul. Forgiving myself for that night outside the warehouse fire has also been a struggle, but Trevor has been so supportive, and I’ve made a silent vow to show him each and every day how much he means to me. I want to prove to him that I’ll never hurt him again—which I won’t, because hurting Trevor is like hurting myself, and my pain tolerance is ridiculously low.
This time when I try to turn, he allows it. Draping my arms around his neck, I pull him toward me. “Just don’t make me wait too long, okay? Because I am getting old.”
“That’s right. You’re thirty now.” He gives me a look, and I slap his arm. “I’m just kidding, baby. Don’t worry, by the time I’m thirty, you’ll be my wife, and I’ll have you barefoot in the kitchen with one kid on your hip and another on the way.”
A year ago that image would’ve made me nervous. Today, it makes me hopeful. “Is that what you want? Me barefoot and pregnant?”
“I just want you, Claire, however I can get you.”
“I’m already yours.”
“Forever.”
“Forever’s a long time.”
“Not nearly long enough.” But Trevor barely gets the words out because I’m kissing him, happily losing myself in the man who loves and understands me, and wants me forever.
And he’s right; forever isn’t nearly long enough.
