That memo hadn’t reached my dick yet, though. I was so fucking hard for her. I ran my hand down my length, wishing it was her hand instead.
Sorry I had a work thing to get to. The coffee pot is on, and there’s a to-go cup you can use. Creamer is in the fridge, and sugar’s in the cabinet—help yourself to anything. I had your friend Birdie get an extra outfit for you too, and it’s sitting on the counter.
HE DOESNT EVEN LIKE CREAMER AND SUGAR BUT HE KNOWS SHE DOES! OH MY GOD
There’s still time. You should have seen the way he was looking at you last night. That boy’s not going anywhere.
“We are so proud of you, baby girl. And we’re happy you’ve found Tyler. I have a good feeling about that boy.”
Confession: I don’t know what I did to deserve this.
and there was a brand-new ramp leading up to the front door.
It was taken care of. All of it.
“Tyler’s being modest. He put this all together, got us here at seven in the morning. Ordered all the materials. This wouldn’t have been possible without him.”
“I have to get your mom some food anyway. I’ll see you tomorrow, baby girl.”
“You’ve done more than enough. Sit at the island. I’ll get you a beer.”
“You flatter me, Tyler Griffen.”
“You make it easy.”

“Tyler?”
“Yeah?”
“Meet me in m...

“If I have a say in it, there will be a next time, and a next time, and a next time.”
“Why windmills though?”
“Because they always move but never leave.”
“You can count on them, day in, day out, to give you water, life. And you can never miss them. Even in a big pasture, it’s like a country lig...

“I was crying because I’ve never felt closer to anyone else than I have to you today. I’m so lucky to know you, Tyler. To be loved by you.”
“Not saying you’re in love with me, but—”
“I do love you, Henrietta Jones. I love you.”
“I love you too, Tyler.”
“I’ll make sure you never want anyone else.”
And most of all, I wanted her to fall in love with Texas like I’d fallen for her, because this feeling I had? Just the thought of it ending ripped me to shreds. But I wouldn’t focus on that.
“I’d love that.”
“There’s my sunshine,”
“Just needed some...

Because each day in Emerson felt like a grain of sand falling to the bottom of the hourglass on our relationship, and there was no way I could ever let her go.
Wanting the request to be special—and to stack the odds in my favor—I printed out the tickets and had them wrapped in a beautiful box with a necklace that had a windmill charm hanging at the end of it.
“If your hot ass isn’t on the job site every damn day, we’re going to have a problem,”
“Right here.”
“And I’ll stay that way as long as I have my girl at my side.”

“Seems to me a man like that wouldn’t take you anywhere that could cause you harm. And if for some reason, an issue did arise, a man like that would nip it in the bud faster than you could blink.”

Protective rage quickly rose in my chest, spewing out my ...

“Fine. Enjoy each other. Although I have no idea how that’s possible.”
“You want to know why I chose Henrietta when you were so clearly interested? I chose her because I could have a conversation with her without feeling like a piece of meat. Henrietta is intelligent and kind and clearly cares about the people who live here and making them feel safe and comfortable. And I don’t know if you’ve seen her curves, but they’re sexy as hell. So I will not be having any more negative talk about her from a desperate, jealous woman like you. Especially not in my own damn home.”
“Now, can you go put that shirt back on?”

“What other people think about you will never change the way I see you, right now. You are perfect, kind, sexy as hell, and Black. It’s a part of you, just like your family and your heart and that beautiful brain in your head. And if we come across anyone who judges you, they have another fucking thing coming. I promise, I won’t let anyone tear you down without ripping out their ass hole and pulling it over their head.”
