Her head whipped up. “Are you freaking kidding me? It scared the crap out of me! I know we’ve never defined what we are or had any commitments, but you mean the goddamn world to me, Gavin. You have to know that!”
His heart was beating so fast at those words that he found it hard to hear his thoughts over it. He felt they were at a crossroads in their relationship. This was a fork-in-the-road moment.

And he was going to start that right here and right now, with kissing and touching Gen with all of the fervor that she was kissing and touching him.
