Corrine looked up at him, her face serene.

“Just for a bit?” she teased, a playful smile hinting at the corners of her eyes.

“If you prefer, for a lifetime,” Nate responded, his smile broadening.

Corrine settled against him, a contented smile spreading across her face. She could feel the firm, steady beat of his heart.
