She leaves, and I set my bag on the chair. Then I wrap my arms around Phillip and press my lips to his.
He chuckles against me, but kisses me back. “Hello,” he murmurs.
“Hi,” I whisper back. It’s been a very long twenty-four hours. An international flight, very little sleep, and a connection in Athens. But now we’re here. Just the two of us in paradise, on another adventure. There’s a guidebook in my bag. Less annotated than my last one, true. But the bookmarks in this one?
We put them there together.
“Happy?” he asks. His eyes are warm. They’re the same color as the sea below. Dark-blue and sparkling.
“Yes,” I say. “Stupidly happy.”
He kisses me again, gently. “Good,” he says. “That’s my goal.”
“Are you?”
He pulls out my chair and I take a seat, watching him. His face is relaxed. No frown between those brows. He’s handsome, and he’s mine now. Forever.
“Yes,” he says and gives me a half smile as he sits down. “I’m not sure I can contain it all.”
“Just enjoy it.” I reach out a hand across the linen-clad table, and he takes it. His wedding ring is a thick, gold band on his left finger. It mirrors the thinner gold wedding ring and the diamond engagement ring on mine. “You know, this is technically our second honeymoon.”
“It is,” he says and squeezes my hand. “And it’ll be our best one yet.”
