He stretches his arms out wide. “This is your surprise!” He moves his arms around to encompass the space around him.
“The building?”
He nods. “They just finished the flooring, and it’s all ready for renting out as a dance space.”

I can read between the lines. With both our incomes, I have room to choose. For too long, I let life dictate most of my choices. This feels like Christmas. It reminds me of my kismet notebook, and I almost laugh at how much significance I attributed to it. The list had been mine to fulfill all along. There are parts of life I can’t control, but love is an active process. I’m going to choose to love Rockwell again and again.
I blink back more tears as Rockwell elaborates on plans for walls, a substantial mirror, and a receptionist desk. Struggling to contain my emotions, I stride toward him. “Two of my dreams are coming true in one day.”
He embraces me and I kiss him again. He doesn’t need an interpreter to read what I’m saying with my lips on his. I love Rockwell Davenport.
Merry Kismet to me.
