She gave him a confused look, until he said, “The night of the mugging. Remember? It’s probably too soon in your relationship to start rehashing the big endings.”
Sunnie laughed. “Excellent point. So…should I ask him to meet me on top of the Empire State Building, flash cue cards at him like in Love Actually, sing ‘Grow Old with You’ on a plane, tell him no one puts baby in a corner, or that he had me at hello?”
“You could just tell him you love him.”
Sunnie turned around at his voice, surprised to see Landon standing behind her. She glanced over his shoulder.
“She’s gone,” Landon said. “So…”
Sunnie pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh at his far-too-happy grin. “So, just saying it feels pretty lame, babe. It lacks a certain…”
“Romance?”
She sighed. “Yeah.”
“Don’t you think the beginning was already pretty romantic?”
She considered that. “Going viral was cool. And I do like Faith Hill.”
Landon narrowed his eyes. “Those were the parts you found romantic?”
Sunnie slid off the stool and stepped closer. “Well, the kiss was pretty awesome. And when you carried me to—”
Sunnie didn’t get the chance to finish her sentence when Landon tugged her toward him and gave her another one of those earth-shattering kisses.
“Still trying to shut me up?” she joked.
“Yes.” He kissed her again.
She wrapped her hands around his neck as he cupped her face between his hands. The kiss might have lasted longer if they weren’t interrupted.
“Jesus. Are you two still playing that damn game?”
She and Landon turned to face her father.
Sunnie giggled as Landon cleared his throat. Finn was standing directly behind their dad, arms crossed, grinning.
“Oh for pity’s sake, sugar. You know they were never pretending.” Mom pushed her way by Dad, reaching for Landon to pull him in for a hug.
Dad smirked. “Finally admitting it, Sunnie?”
She nodded.
“I knew it was going to take a special guy to get my headstrong girl to fall in love.”
Sunnie rolled her eyes when Dad shook Landon’s hand, acting like he’d just saved half a dozen kids from a fire.
“No more pretending?” Dad asked.
“No, sir,” Landon said.
“I think it’s perfect,” her mom sighed.
Dad looked from her to Landon, then back at her. “Landon, huh?” he asked with a grin.
“Oh my God. Seriously, you two. Can we please not make this into a big thing? Landon and I are just dating.”
Landon wrapped his arm around her waist. “She’s head over heels for me. I’m already planning our entire future in my head.”
