“How are you so sure you aren’t mistaking this?”
I shrug, dragging her hand holding my face so warmly to the center of my chest. The rapid beating my heart under her palm. Her eyes dart to meet mine.
“This tells me so.”
She’s breaking under me.
“I don’t know much about our pace, but to me, now is good. How about you?”
She holds my eyes, searching for something to convince her to back out in all this. Searching for any cards that I had yet to play but she won’t find any. I laid them all down the moment I fell goner for her. Her hands slide across my chest as she pulls me into a hug. My nose buried in the crook of her neck where her scent enthralled me most.
