Yes, she would.
Outside of the café, Flynn paused under the awning as the rain went from a drizzle to a borderline downpour. Fat drops splattered the sidewalks as people ran for the shelter of the coffee shop and other surrounding stores.
“Do you think we’ve been in love with each other this entire time but we’re only just now realizing it?” he asked.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“How could it not matter?”
“Because you were a different you before this exact moment. And I was a different me. It never would’ve worked out if we’d attempted it before we did.”
He pulled her in with one arm, careful not to spill their coffees as he leaned down to nuzzle her nose. “I love you.”
Her smile was unstoppable. “I love you, too. I don’t know how to not be in love with you, so I may as well stick around.”
“That’s the spirit.” He looked out at the pouring rain. “Nice day for a walk.”
“The perfect day for a walk,” she agreed.
His arm around her neck, they stepped out from under the awning, allowing the rain to drench them as they meandered down the sidewalk. “Plus, no one else makes me M&M cookies.”
“The foundation of every strong relationship,” she said.
“That and sex in the laundry room.”
“Or on the couch.”
“Or the balcony.”
She blinked up at him, the rain soaking her cheeks. “We didn’t have sex on the balcony.”
“Not yet. I read a balcony sex scene in the romance novel you left at my penthouse. I think we should try it.”
“You read a romance novel?”
“I have a lot to learn.”
“Seems like you’ve learned a lot already.” She gripped his shirt and tugged him close. “Now kiss me in the rain. It’ll make the perfect ending.”
Flynn dipped his mouth to hers and drank her in, the cool rainwater causing their lips to slip. He held her tightly, making good on his promise never to let her go. Rain or shine, apparently.
When they parted, his blue eyes locked on hers, his arms still holding her. Then a genuine, perfect grin lit his face. “Say it.”
“Say what?”
“The ending.”
“Oh, right.” She cleared her throat and announced, “And they lived happily ever after.”
