“Not a single one.” I grin.
“Good.” He leans in and kisses me again before dropping his forehead to mine. “I know I have to get on that plane but it’s taking everything for me to leave you here.” His statement causes my breath to catch. “I don’t know what’s happening here, Lennon, but I want it to continue. I want to explore this with you. You make me feel some sort of way, Miss Claire.” He grins, letting out a slow breath.
“You make me feel some sort of way too, Mr. Demasi,” I practically whisper, my words sticking in my throat.
“Less than a month. Promise you’ll wait for me.” I pull back from his hold, sensing for the first time ever that Hudson seems unsure of himself.
“I wouldn’t dream of doing anything but.” I twist my hand around the back of his neck and pull him to me, kissing him for anyone to see. “Just make sure you come back to me,” I say when I break our kiss several moments later.
“Just try and keep me away.” He grins, repositioning the bag on his shoulder before dropping a quick kiss to my forehead. “Gonna be the longest four weeks of my life,” he grumbles.
“I know the feeling.”
“I gotta go,” he says taking a full step back. “Text me when you’re home safe, yeah?”
“Yeah.” I nod.
He opens his mouth like he wants to say more but snaps it closed, clearly changing his mind. It takes everything in me not to call him back when he turns. To beg him to tell me what feels like something important, but I don’t. Instead I stand where he last stood with me and watch him walk away.
