“Really?” A smile that comes straight from my heart spreads across my face.

“Yes. You’re not going to get rid of me that easily, Babydoll.”

“I don’t want to get rid of you at all.”

“That works fine because I love you, Summer Reeves.”

“I love you too, Eric Markov.”

“Come here and show me.” He beckons me to his lips, and I go to him.

When our lips meet, he gives me a kiss that rivals all kisses.

In his arms I feel whole and like I’ll always be safe.

I feel like I’ll always have love and be loved.

That’s everything I ever wanted.
