Tammy opened and closed her mouth. ‘What did you just say?’
‘I said I love you. I want things to work out between us. We can have a long-distance relationship for a while and I can either get transferred to the coast closest to you or I can retrain. I’ve never felt like this before and I want us to work. I want to be with you.’
Tammy grinned. ‘What if I said I’d got a job down here?’
Josh leaned back slightly and tilted his head. ‘Seriously?’
‘Yes, the top boss at my old work rang yesterday just before I came to see you on the stairs and offered me a job as a manager of a branch. I asked if there was a job going down here and there was.’
‘Seriously? As in seriously, seriously?’
‘Yes.’ Tammy laughed. ‘I love the bay and the people, Elsie and the bakery family. I don’t want to leave that.’ She took a deep breath. ‘And I love you too.’
Wrapping his arms around her, Josh pulled her towards him and kissed her before stepping away again. ‘Shall we get out of here and get back to the bay?’
‘Most definitely.’ Taking his hand in hers, they walked towards the car park and Elsie’s car. With every step they took together, every moment she felt his hand in hers, the stresses and worries of last night filtered away. This was the real thing and she’d been so quick to judge him by her exes’ standards that she’d almost messed everything up.
‘Oh, one thing.’
Pausing, she looked back at him. ‘Yes?’
‘I’ve got to say you look super cute with your apron on and your face covered in...’ He ran his finger along her cheek and looked down at his hand.
‘Bread dough.’ She laughed. She’d forgotten she hadn’t taken her apron off. Frowning, she glanced towards the taxi rank as a woman let out a scream and sank onto her suitcase. ‘Do you think she’s okay?’
‘I’m not so sure. Shall we go and see if we can help?’ Josh interlaced his fingers with hers as they walked back across the car park.
