She opened the door, stepped out, opened the back door, and got a pizza box out.
“Hey,” he called out.
JoJo looked up. “Hey. I’m sorry. I thought I’d be back.”
“I thought you said they delivered?”
“They do, but they said they didn’t have a driver.”
“You should have told me. I could have gotten it when I drove through town.”
“It was the last minute. They need more than one delivery guy.”
“No shit,” Brett muttered.
“I’ll be right up.” JoJo smiled and then disappeared into the stairwell.
Brett strode to the stairs, leaned over the railing, and watched her climb the steps. He walked down the steps to meet her when she was on the floor below and took the pizza box from her. Then he kissed her lips.
“Damn, it smells good.”
“It’s always good. Let’s get inside. It’s getting colder.”
Brett followed her inside after she unlocked the door and entered the apartment.

JoJo removed her hat and coat, hung them up, then turned to look at Brett. He stared at her, then a slow smile lifted his lips.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured as he walked toward her, stopped in front of her, tilted her chin up with his finger, and pressed his lips to hers.
JoJo wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him, and slid her tongue into his mouth, making him groan. He lifted his lips, placed his forehead against hers, and gazed into her eyes.
“I love you.”
“I love you too. What did you want to talk about?”
“After dinner. I’m starving.” He removed his hat and coat and hung them on the hall tree.
“All right.”
She walked to the cupboard, removed two plates, opened the pizza box, and moaned at the scent of pepperoni, cheese, and spices. She took a slice from Brett’s side, set it on the plate, and handed it to him.
“Sofa?” he asked.
“Yes.” She followed him to the sofa and sat, and then he sat beside her.
She picked up her slice, bit into it, and moaned when the flavors hit her tongue. It was a little hole-in-the-wall place, but they made the best pizza.
“Damn, it is good,” Brett said after he chewed and swallowed a bite.
“Would I lie to you?” JoJo tilted her head.
“I hope not, darlin’.”
“I won’t. Now, eat so we can go to bed.”
Brett chuckled. “Yes, ma’am.”
