MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS OBSESSED WITH ME
I felt my chest tighten, my pulse thundering in my ears as his voice softened to a whisper:
“Caelen Valentine, I love you. For who you are — for your fire and your fears and your stubborn heart. I love you now. I’ll love you forever.”
Tears blurred my vision, but I smiled through them, gazing into those stormy eyes of his.
“I love you too, Lucian,” I breathed, my voice breaking.
That was when Caisen — my terrifying, over-protective brother — wiped his eyes with a dramatic flourish and said,
“Finally. My brother has found his true love. Took you idiots long enough.”
Lucian and I both burst out laughing.
“Caisen, you’re such a sap!” I teased, wiping my tears.
