Everything in me sags at his words, at the sincerity behind them.
“Theo,” I try again, reaching for him and cupping his jaw in my palm. “I don’t want to forget it all. It might have been painful. But it’s ours. It’s a part of our story. And as fucked up as it is, I wouldn’t change it. Well, maybe parts of it.”
Pain flickers across his features, and I can’t help wondering if he’s thinking about the same things as me. But as much as I might want to know, now isn’t the time.
“Let’s just take it one step at a time, yeah? We’ve still got things to deal with and a lot of stuff to talk about.” I quirk a brow just to let him know how serious I am about it.

He crowds me, wrapping his hand around the back of my neck and pressing his brow to mine.
“I want to say I couldn’t think of anything better, but that would be a lie.”
“Come on, boss. Let’s go and show everyone how it’s done.”
I take his hand in mine and pull him toward the door.
We get more than a few looks as we emerge from the storage cupboard. Mostly though, it’s jealousy. Holding my head up high, I join the back of the queue for the ladies, which thankfully, is shorter than when we passed it earlier, and I allow Theo to wrap his arms around me and kiss my neck while I wait to clean up.
