“But I felt connected to you too, so I think there’s just something between us.”
“Maybe.” She shrugged. “Either way, it freaked me out when I realized you didn’t tell me something so big. It made me wonder what else you’re hiding.”
I drew a cross over my heart with my right hand
“I swear, this is it. There’s nothing else to tell.”
She looked down and traced her finger along the edge of the table. Without looking up, she said, “I need total honesty if we’re going to continue this.”
“You have it. I swear, you have it. Just please give me another chance.”
As soon as she nodded, I was out of my chair and on my knees in front of her. Placing my hands on either side of her face, I drew her mouth down for a soft kiss to seal our second chance.
When I pulled back, she nibbled on her bottom lip and studied me.
“What are you going to do about your mother?”
I sat back in my seat and urged her onto my lap. She rested her head on my shoulder.
“I’m not doing the reunion show. If she tells people where I am, I’ll deal with it. We’ll deal with it together.”
Her smile curled against my chest just before she pushed back to meet my gaze.
“Regardless of what your mother does or doesn’t do, you’re going to have to meet some rabid fans,” she said. “My daughter and pole friends expect an introduction soon. And since I met your mom, it’s only fair you meet my parents.”
“Yeah?”
She nodded.
“Yeah.”
“I love you, Everly Reese.”
“And I love you Max Corbin.”
