BLAZE*"A dream I had about you and me a couple of months ago," I said, and Lyra gasped next to me."You, you had a dream about us," Lyra asked, and she sat up, with surprise written all over her face."I call it a dream, but it was so vivid, and it felt so real. Researchers call it lucid dreaming, I think. I'm so glad that you are back. I've been working myself to the bone to keep from going nuts," I said."I had a dream about us as well. I wonder if it was the same dream for us both. That would be so strange. What would it mean?" Lyra asked me."Lyra, come on; you and Blaze can flirt later," Vega hollered out just when I was about to reply to Lyra."Let me get a beer, and I'll be right there," Lyra said as she shrugged her shoulders at me and got up from the loveseat."Go ahead, and I'll grab a beer for you," I said to Lyra as I got up and started making my way to the kitchen.There were three different types of beer in the refrigerator, and I hadn't asked Lyra what she would like.

BLAZE*I woke up to Lyra on top of me, hugging me like a koala bear and snoring lightly in my ear. I must be a heavy sleeper because, for the life of me, I don't know how I slept through this. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.I wished I could reach for my phone; I would take a picture, but my phone was in my jeans pocket on the floor, and I didn't want to wake Lyra up. I looked over to the window to see the sun had come up and shone through the blinds.I needed to go to the bathroom, and Lyra was just an inch away from my morning wood. About the time tried to figure out a way of moving her without her waking up, Lyra mumbled something into my ear incoherently.Then she rolled over onto her right side, her head lying on my arm. The covers had been thrown off in the night so the sheets wouldn't get in the way. I slowly moved my arm and gently put my other hand under Lyra's cheek. Then I placed her head down on the bed.I somehow managed to get up without waking Lyra.

BLAZE*This month has been fantastic since Lyra, and I connected. We learned early on that we didn't want to be separated. Within a week, Lyra had asked me to move in with her. It's an incredible feeling falling asleep and waking up to Lyra in my arms every morning. I make sure to be home every night by six o'clock, no longer working at all hours of the night.Lyra and I take turns cooking dinner every other night with Jace and Vega, and we all sit down at the table and enjoy each other's company. All of the guys are ecstatic that I'm no longer an uptight ass hole. Church two weeks ago, Lyra and Jace went to the altar and got saved. So many incredible things have happened this month.We had Thanksgiving at my parent's house. My mother adored Lyra and was happy to spend longer than ten minutes with her. My mom was so happy for me to have finally met my soulmate. I got to know Lyra's parents better since they happened to be there. Lyra's parents drop by twice a week for dinner, and that

BLAZE*"Lunch was delightful, thank you, Mrs.Riley," I said.Nothing beats a good old-fashioned country fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. I know now where the girls had gotten their cooking skills."Mr. Riley, is there any way Jace and I could speak to you for a little while. It's about a building project for the girls," I asked.Jace ran out to the car and grabbed the building plans, and met us in Richard's office. We talked about everything concerning investments, grants, and permits. The hoops that we would need to go through, but Richard would be helping us get through all of that. Richard and Rebecca have put in for their retirement and will be retiring by January. So they would have loads of free time. Richard and Rebecca would help us get started, and then once they sold their house, they would be hitting the road. They have wanted to travel for years, but their workload has prevented them from doing so, Richard had said.We needed to find the land and go from th

BLAZE*"Are you loving your wine and strawberries, love?" I asked Lyra as she savored the taste of the last strawberry."Mmm, yes, absolutely wonderful, dear, thank you; Blaze, you don't even know how perfect this all is," Lyra said as she glanced around at all of the decorations Jace and I had thrown up."Anything for you, my angel," I said as I grabbed Lyra's hand and squeezed it softly. It wasn't long ago that this arm was in a cast. I can't believe Lyra was seated next to me right now, and she's my fiance. I don't think I deserve this beautiful angel sitting next to me."You ready for the main course," I asked Lyra as I stood from my seat."Yes, It smelled so go when I walked in from the garage. I can't wait," Lyra said and beamed."Ok, I'll be right back," I said as I walked toward the house.Lyra was going to go nuts over my homemade Ziti and Meatball Bake. I also prepared stuffed mushrooms and Asparagus. I grinned to myself as I walked toward the oven. I grabbed the oven mitts
