I smiled, turning in his arms to look up into his face. “Hmm. I don’t know. The last time I did that, I ended up falling in love with the guy who shared my bottle with me.”
“And that dude fell pretty damn hard for you, too.” He brushed the hair out of my face. “That was my best day ever.”
“I don’t know. It seems to me that every day we’re together only gets better.” I kissed his jaw.
“I’d have to agree. I’m glad I shared my hiding space with the most beautiful girl in the world.”
“It worked out pretty well for both of us, didn’t it?” I touched my finger to his lips. “I love you, Owen.”
“It’s a good thing you do, because I don’t want to take just any chick with me to my new duty station ... which I found out today is going to be Schofield Barracks.”
“Schofield?” Excitement filled me. “Hawaii? We’re moving toHawaii?”
“Aloha, baby. I’m taking my California girl to the land of beaches and gnarly waves.” He framed my face with his hands. “Are you cool with that?”
I turned my lips to press a kiss into his palm. “I’d go to the end of the earth with you, Owen Hughes.” Standing on my toes, I wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him tight as I murmured into his ear.
“But Hawaii will be the perfect place to begin our forever together.”
