She pushed up from the floor and went over, crawling into his lap. She laid her head on his shoulder. In that moment, he had his entire world in his arms.
“I love you, Jinx. We can start afresh.”
He threaded his fingers in her hair. “You’ll never regret this.”
“I’m sure I won’t.” She lifted her head and connected their gazes. “We have a house.”
“We do?” That was news to him.
“Actually, it was a gift from Kent.”
He blinked. “Excuse me?”
“A wedding present. A house. But I couldn’t accept it. So, I bought another house. I want us to make it home. Together.”
He cupped her cheeks. “Wherever you are that’s my home.”
They came together for a kiss that ignited love to last a lifetime.
“Shall we tell Ilene we made up?” he asked.
“I think we should stay here all night. I like being here, just the two of us.”
He chuckled. “I like the way you think.”
Not the end but only the beginning.
