“I, um, broke into your email and sent all the files to your commander already. I also sent copies to the two friends you mentioned yesterday who are ex-military and live on the mountain. Thought they’d be able to help too. Just in case.”
“You sly little devil,” I laugh, coming around the island and stepping between her legs. Giving her a long, tight hug, we rock side to side as it all sinks in.
“You chose me.” I kiss her hair.
“Damn right I did. I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I wasn’t going to walk away from the man I love this time around.”
Her confession hits me like a punch to the gut. Emotion wells in my chest.
“I love you too, you know that right?”
“Yeah, it was kinda obvious,” she laughs.
“Well, I’m glad it was this time around, little thief.”
“Why do you keep calling me that? I haven’t stolen anything from you.”
“Yes you have.” I shake my head at the absurd question. Framing her face, I touch our lips together for a long, deep kiss. “You stole my heart. All those years ago.”
She swallows, tears pooling in her eyes. When she speaks, her voice cracks. “I hope you don’t want it back, because it’s mine.”
“All yours,” I confirm.
She nods, agreeing with my words before pulling me back for another long kiss.
The road ahead of us isn’t going to be easy, but it will be so worth it with her right beside me.
