“Ugh, never.”
“What is life without love?” I asked him softly, giddy with happiness.
“Life,” he said, and I looked over at him and glared. “What?” he said with a bigger smile. “Life without love is still life.”
“Sometimes, I can’t believe we’re soulmates.” I shook my head. “You’re so cynical.”
“So you think we’re soulmates?” He started grinning at me, and I rolled my eyes at him.
“I think that’s been obvious.” I laughed. “I haven’t really hidden it that well, have I?” I gazed at him tenderly, hardly believing this moment was happening.
“Say it,” he said, looking into my eyes deeply.
“Say what?” I teased him.
“You know,” he said, his eyes beguiling, begging me to put him out of his misery. “Say it,” he said again, almost begging.
“Say what?” I said again, teasing him, needing him to know it meant a lot to me. As much as it meant to him.
“Say you love me,” he said, gripping my hands as he waited.
“I love you, Parker Brookstone,” I said sweetly and simply, kissing his lips softly. “I love you with all my heart. I always have and I always will.”
