I steel my jaw. Give her one last warning look, then flick the box open.
Immediately, my blood runs cold. Something thickens in my throat, and I can’t seem to get any words out, let alone in order.
Eventually, I manage a strangled, “You’re not wearing it.”
I can’t believe I didn’t notice she’s not wearing it.
Her hand flies to her chest. “I’m lucky, with or without the necklace,” she says quietly. “I have you, I have friends, I have the best job. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”
Her fingers slide over mine, and she takes the box from me. “My socks didn’t work for you, nor did you taking your mama’s advice about believing you’re lucky. So maybe this will.”
The four-leaf clover pendant winks as she lifts it off the cushion and dangles it in the space between us. “I had it put on a new chain, so it’s a little longer. More manly, too.” She chokes out an awkward laugh. “Here, let me put it on you.”
I don’t say anything as her soft hands reach around my neck. Can’t. Can’t seem to fucking think about anything other than how I’m stupidly obsessed with this woman.
“There.” She slides the chain under my shirt collar and pats my chest, then looks up into my eyes.
I stare back at her for a beat, while my heart bursts into flames.
My fist finds the back of her hair, and my lips find her mouth.
My heart has caught fire, and I’m in love with the Queen who lit the match.
