Dinner was amazing.My belly is nice and full and this walk is doing wonders. Trevor’s warm hand is so comforting.
His voice is only adding to the calm that has come over me. I wish things could be like this always. I lean my head against his arm and keep in step with him as we turn and walk up a set of stairs.
I’m not sure where we are, although I know we’re in the area of the Louvre. Just as I thought, the Louvre comes into view. I glance around and it becomes clear where we are,Pont des Arts. We’re on the Love Lock Bridge.
“This was a big one on her list. She talked about it all the time,” Trev says as he looks down at me. “I have her old high school combination lock. I know it’s supposed to be a lock between lovers, but we loved her and she had a love for this place.”
“It’s perfect,” I choke out.
He pulls the lock from his backpack and leads me over to the bridge railing. I nod for him to do the honors.
A slight wind begins to pick up. I close my eyes and think of my sister. It’s as if she’s standing right beside me.
“There’s one more thing, darlin’,” Trevor says, causing me to open my eyes again.
He’s holding up a pouch with a huge smile on his face. I knit my brows in confusion. He reaches into the pouch and pulls out another lock.
“I had this one made just for us. I figured it only right we place our own here as well.”
I take the lock from him with shaky hands. It’s heavy and cool to the touch. He had the date engraved on it. When I turn it over, the other side is engraved as well, the words inscribed across the metal.
I love you now and forever.
Trev and Lynn
Forever.
I look up into his eyes as tears fill my own. I don’t know what to say.
“I’m in love with you, Lynn. I’ve always loved you, but I stand here sure as the day is long, knowing that I’m completely in love with you,” he says.
I run a hand under my nose and nod my head. “Yeah, I know without question, I’m in love with you too.”
He cups my face and kisses me passionately. I hold the lock against my chest as he pulls me into him. The wind seems to swirl around us then pushes out over the water.
“Want to do the honors?” he asks when he breaks the kiss and kisses the top of my head.
I nod and take the key he hands me to unlock the padlock. He moves behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. I find the perfect spot next to Pook’s lock and click ours into place among all the others.
Trevor then takes the key and holds it before my lips. I kiss the key before he lifts it to his lips to do the same and then tosses it into theRiver Seine.
“This was perfect. I hope she’s happy.”
“I’m sure she is. If she can see how much I love you, I know she is.”
I turn in his embrace to look up at him. I smile and reach to cup his face. My heart fills with so much love for him.
“Want to show me how much love that is, handsome?”
He sways me in his arms before dipping his head to take my lips. It’s a soft, tender kiss. At first, I don’t think he’s going to lean into it any further.
However, I smile into the kiss as he groans and glides his hands down to grasp my butt and pull me into him. I lock my arms tighter around his neck and allow him to devour my lips.
I’m breathless when he pulls away and looks me in the eyes. “Wow,” I breathe.
“Come on, let’s get back to the room. We can cuddle and talk. Maybe you can play me one of your new songs.”
