The Last to Leave

“Just because I’ve got more game than Nintendo doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings.”

“Do you have any board games or video games? I feel like it’s about time for me to whoop your ass at something again.” Courtney removed her hand from Nicole’s arm and brought it to her chest. “Aw, that’s cute.” “What’s cute?” “The fact that you think you can beat me at something. It’s adorable.”

“Would you look at that. Looks like I’m the last to leave.” Nicole brought Courtney in closer and placed a quick kiss on her lips. “No, darling, you’re the first to stay.”

“I want every sunset, sunrise, rainy day, snowstorm; every up; every down. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
