“It’ll go by so fast.”
“Every minute will drag until then.”
She laughed. “Quit being dramatic. You have a lot to do getting Caden back on his feet and preparing for the holidays.”
“I don’t want to do any of it without you here. It only took a few nights of sleeping with you to get me addicted to it.”
“Max,” she said with a sigh.
“What?”
“You’re making me breathless again.”
“I miss you like crazy.”
“I miss you, too, and the next few weeks will go by fast, I promise.”
“No, they won’t.”
“Yes, they will.”
“Are we having our first fight?”
Lexi laughed. “Nah, you just need to accept that I’m always right, and then we’ll never fight.”
“Um, well…”
She laughed again.
“You always were too quick for me, Lex.”
“I’m just right for you.”
“Yes, you are, and now that I’ve found you again, all I want is everything.”
“Easy does it,” she said.
“We’re going to have it all. I know it.”
“That would be lovely, but one step at a time, okay?”
“We’re going to have our second fight if you keep up this slow-and-steady-wins-the-race theme.”
“I’m going to keep it up, because you know as well as I do that it’s what we have to do.”
“I can’t talk right now. I’m mad at you.”
“Whatever,” she said, giggling. “Go to bed and get some rest.”
“Hey, Lex?”
“Yes, Max?”
“When we have kids, they’re going to have to have the letter X in their names, okay?”
Her heart skipped a beat when he said that. “What part of ‘one step at a time’ are you not hearing?”
“The part where you’re gonna make me wait to have it all with you.”
