Three feet out the door, I kissed her. And that kiss lasted until dawn.
He finally looked up and whispered, “Do you think she’ll like me?” The air whooshed out of my lungs and I wanted to cry again. He wanted to know her. Logan wanted Charlie. “She’ll love you.”
He frowned and took my face in his hands. “We’ll play it your way tonight. But sooner or later, you’re going to let me in, baby. I’ll break down the door if I have to.”
“You couldn’t. And you’re coming with me as more than just Charlie’s mother. Since you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll just be blunt.” “Blunt is good.” He grinned. “We’re in a relationship, Thea. Man. Woman. Boyfriend. Girlfriend. Call it whatever you want. But when I introduce you to my family, it will be with your hand in mine. And it’s time we stopped hiding it from Charlie.”
“You know what ‘the unfortunate’ need? Essentials. Real essentials. Enough food so they can eat three times a day, every day. They need enough quarters to go to the laundry mat every week. They need tampons, for Christ’s sake. What they don’t need are some rich people sitting in a ballroom feeling sorry for them because they don’t have internet or cable TV.”
There was a lot we needed to talk about. We had issues to hammer out and a future to plan. But right now, I didn’t want to think about any of it. All I wanted was for Thea to know how much I loved her. If I couldn’t say it, I’d show her instead.
“When I asked you what you wanted, you said the impossible. But I don’t believe anything is impossible, not for you. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you never have an impossible again. Including living our life together in Lark Cove.” Her eyebrow quirked. “Really?” “I love you. I want you to be my wife and for us to be a family. Marry me?” She nodded, a tear sliding down one cheek. “Yes.”
