Though I didn’t grow up in the best of places or under the best circumstances, I know Caleb is my person. I meet his eye, ensuring he can see the truth behind my next words. “I love you.” For an instant, he stiffens, his eyes going wide, but as the words sink in, he groans and presses a kiss to my mouth, his hand warm on my cheek despite the chilly air. “’Bout damn time you got on the same page as me. I love you too, baby.”
