Follow the River (River of Rain, #1)

by C.E. Ricci

Grabbing his wrists with both hands, I haul us both up to our feet before taking his face in my hands. My heart feels like it’s trying to claw its way out of my chest to get to his. If only to let his know mine has never felt so completely whole. I love you.

River leans back and looks into my eyes, his own full of so many emotions it would take me a thousand years to name them all. “You have me. You will always have me. Until every star in the night sky burns out. And maybe even then.”
