“Don’t cry for me, Autumn.”
“They’re happy tears.”
I didn’t want to ruin the moment, but I had to ask, “Are you on the pill?”

I arched an eyebrow. “Next time?”
“Yeah, there’s going to be a next time, right?”
I opened my mouth to reply, but nothing came out.
“Julian, this isn’t a one-time thing, right?”
“I need to clean you up.”
The next thing I knew she was kissing all over my face, wrapping her arms and legs around me, seeking the comfort she needed in my embrace. I kissed her, softly pecking her lips, taking my time with each stroke of my tongue as it tangled with hers.
I tasted her tears.
Her hope.
Her love.
When I opened my eyes, I saw every sentiment I felt through her gaze. We locked eyes.
I surrendered.
To her.
To us.
Because for the first time, I didn’t stop when she wholeheartedly expressed, “I love you,” all in one breath.
