"What time do you expect to be home again ?" Connor was looking at her, they were parked in front of her job.    She smiled at him. "I don't know exactly, but it is not going to be late. Somewhere around 9 I think".    "Maybe I could come pick you up when you are ready ?" He sent her those puppy dog eyes.    She leaned over to kiss him lovingly. "I think we can work that out. Is it okay if I text you when I am ready ?"   "Please do baby, no matter what time right ?" He grabbed her neck, holding her close to him, kissing her again.    She got out of the car and blew him a kiss before walking inside to start her shift.

 "Oh shit, he has been nominated for a Tony for a Broadway musical and me, the big idiot, asked him if he could sing". Amelia facepalmed herself. She was reading on Connor's IMDB profile.  Linda sighed resignedly. "Maybe you shouldn't concern yourself so much with all of that. You are working yourself into a frenzy, remember he is still the same man you kissed goodbye this morning".  "You are right, even though it is a bit hard not thinking about it, it is just so weird". She closed down the internet and put her phone on the table.  Linda looked at the clock. "How and when do you plan on telling him that he is busted ?"  "Hmm I think I got an idea, but I need your help, are you in ?" Amelia

 Amelia was happy that her phone was muted, because when she woke up at 9.30 am she had 4 messages from Connor. Just to wish her a good morning, to tell her he missed her and to tell that they were on their way.  She stretched and shook her head, realising she had finally found his flaw. He was a bit too intense and very fast to put his feelings out there. A previous fast wedding that didn't work made a lot more sense now.  After a quick shower, she got some breakfast and then a new message arrived from Connor:‘I am at your place in 10 minutes my love, can't wait to see you’.  She was looking forward to see him to and to see what his surprise was, but she wished he would relax a bit:

 The next week went quietly by, Amelia spent all her free time with Connor, and she found him to be truly perfect, always attentive and so sweet and loving except for in the bedroom where he was everything else.    When they weren't together, usually because she was at work, he sent her sweet texts and if she had long shifts he would often come by just to say hi and sneak a kiss.    Amelia was a bit worried though. She loved him being so attentive and caring, but she felt it was a bit too fast and he just got too intense sometimes.    She feared that his seemingly need to be with her all the time could easily turn to something she couldn't handle. She had never known a man to show such devotion or such need for her.  

 "I guess that went okay, didn't it ? I like your parents, they are really sweet". They were sitting in the car on their way back, and Connor was glancing at Amelia. He had really been on his best behaviour and he hoped she had noticed.  She turned her face towards him and smiled. "It went a lot more than okay, my father was crazy about you and my mother might be just a tiny bit in love with you. I have never seen her giggle and blush like that".  "That might be a bit exaggerated, but I hope they liked me". He was biting his lip, concentrating on the road.  Not that it mattered much to him if they liked him. She was his destined mate and he would take her with him one way or another. But he knew it mattered to her and he wanted her happy.  She was happy she had brought him, even though it might be a bit early, but it had gone
