‘It’s difficult to say without doing a scan, but going from the level of hormones in your blood I’d say around six weeks.’
Tessa thought her heart might burst. ‘That makes sense,’ she smiled serenely, disconnecting the call a moment later and looking up at Alex.
‘Does it?’ he repeated, with wonder.
‘I think it happened on our last night here, in the pool. It was when I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, how much I loved you.’
He tilted his head back and laughed, then wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her into the air, spinning her around then slowly sliding her down his body, kissing her when their faces were level. ‘You had no idea?’
‘None,’ she promised. ‘I’ve been so distracted...’
‘And at least I know now that your food aversion wasn’t sparked by my awful behaviour.’
She shook her head, not wanting to tell him how hard his rejection had hurt. She leaned closer, lifting up onto her tiptoes to kiss him, as everything in her world clicked into place.
‘I love you,’ he said, and they were the three most beautiful words in the world, because they were true and right and always would be. She held him tight and loved him back, with all her heart, her soul, and every single piece of her, for all time.
