He was growing a little impatient. Mia stood frozen on the other side of the door. She heard the second knock; she knew exactly who it was from his scent coming in through the space under the door and couldn’t believe it.

“Maybe not. But you have me anyway.” A small chuckle escaped me, the tension in my chest easing just a little. “I love you.” She brushed her lips against mine in response, a slow, lingering kiss meant to reassure me. “And I love you.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, nodding, just as a sudden knock at the door interrupted us.
