“Do you think long distance will work?” I ask calmly. Maybe too calmly. His expression is tense, so damn concentrated. But those blue eyes are sincere, settling some of my nerves. “I know it will. For you, I’ll make it work. We have a lot to figure out, but we still have time. Today isn’t for that conversation, though. I want to just be here with you. Spend the holidays with my woman. I’m confident enough in us to ask you to let me do that.”
