“Me too. So much.”

“The position as liaison pays a nice wage,” he says. “We’ll be able to move out of here and into a place of our own soon.”

I narrow my eyes at him. “Is that what has you down? You’re worried about where we’re living?”

“I am taking you from all the comforts to—”

I press a finger to his lips. “You’ve taken me from the pit of despair and back to hope. You’ve taken me from loneliness to love.” I shake my head. “I don’t need more than you, Hale Kendrick.”

He takes my hips in his big hands and pulls me toward him, tucking my head under his chin and lining our bodies up flush. “I thought I couldn’t have you, and then I thought I couldn’t keep you, and then I knew I wouldn’t let you go but thought I’d lose you anyway.” He bends to bury his face in my neck. “Forgive me if I act like a fool sometimes when I’m trying to understand how I got so lucky.”

“How we got so lucky,” I say, pressing a palm into his chest so I can push back and see his face. “And it won’t all be sunshine and rainbows. There will be hard moments—but I guarantee you, spending a few weeks bunking with a lovely friend doesn’t qualify.”

His lips quirk. “Amelia’s pretty happy to have you here.”

“Well, I’m pretty happy to be here.”

“And when those moments come,” he says, “when it feels like it’s been too long between the sunshine and the rainbows, we’ll remind each other that the sun will rise again.”

“Don’t forget I’m not so scared of the dark anymore.”

He smiles against my mouth. “How could I forget your secret dark side?” He kisses me, and I reach across the room with my shadows and shut the door.
