My heart swells when I see that she crossed off the romantic date. Honestly, I hadn’t been thinking about it when I took her to the outdoor rink. I’d just wanted to spend a little time alone with her.

And then it stutters painfully when I see the very last item has been ticked off, even though we agreed to remove it from the list.
10.Fall in love
My wide gaze flies to her. She’s still snoring softly and sleeping soundly.
Does that mean she actually…
Loves me?
I didn’t think that was possible.
I mean, sure…I have those feelings for her. Even though they were buried deep down inside where I couldn’t dwell on them, I’ve loved this girl for as long as I can remember.
“Juliette?” Her name comes out sounding hoarse, as if it’s being choked from my body.
With a lazy stretch, her eyelids flutter open. A soft smile tugs at the corners of her lips when her sleepy gaze locks on mine.
“Morning,” she says, voice all low and husky. It only twists my insides up more.
My gaze stays fastened to her as I hold up the list. “Everything’s been ticked off?”
She blinks. I can almost see her trying to play mental catchup and the exact moment it hits her. When she props herself up on her elbows, the sheet slides even further down her torso until it crumples around her waist.
All that creamy flesh on display isn’t nearly enough to distract me from discovering the truth.
Her expression turns cautious. “Yes.”
It feels as if my throat is closing up as I push out the question. My heart thuds a painful staccato against my ribcage until it echoes in my ears. Any moment, it’s going to bust free and flop around on the carpet at my feet. “You love me?”
A deafening silence falls over us before she straightens her shoulders and lifts her chin an inch or so as a steeliness enters her voice. “Yes, I do.”
Every muscle weakens until it feels like my knees will turn to jelly. “I love you too.”
Her eyes widen and her mouth pops open.“You do?”
Shock colors her expression as I carefully fold up the list and set it on the nightstand before slipping beneath the covers and gathering her up into my arms.
“Honestly? I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love you.”
“I…don’t know what to say.”
