“She is goofy, clumsy, and she can’t cross the street without nearly getting herself run over. She loses her phone and keys all the time.” I think for a moment. “She has the most beautiful dimples when she smiles; her whole face lights up.” I pause for a moment as I picture her. “She’s a great cook. The best, actually.” I smile wistfully. “I have leftovers for lunch every day.” I twist my fingers in my lap as I try to think of something else to say. “She writes

I’ve died and gone to Heaven… with a god. How ironic.

“Another of my firsts given to the lovely Eliza Bennet.”
“Biggest regret in life?” I ask. “Hmm.” He frowns, falling deep into thought. “Like, ever?” “Yes.” I smile as I sip my drink, I like this game. “Probably waiting ten years to fall for you.”
“I guess with you by my side…, anything is possible.”
“I love listening to you read to me.”
“Perhaps one day you will read me a story about us.”
Goodbye, holiday love bubble. Welcome back to reality, Eliza.

“Okay.” I hang on the line, waiting to hear my favorite three words. “I love you.”
“For the first time in my life I feel… finished.”
Nobody could love you more than he already does.”
