One side of his mouth kept trying to smile, the other side was still in shock.

He cleared his throat and said, “Those Caldwell girls.”

He crossed his arms and looked at her. “Were those tears even real?”

“They were real. I didn’t think you were going to come after me. I thought you’d let me go without a fight.”

He shook his head. “No. Uh-uh. Never letting you go.”

She grabbed his shirt, pulled him to her. She put her lips against his and kissed him. Kissed him like she loved him, kissed him like she didn’t need to trust him. She had him right where she wanted him. She had everything she wanted.

She whispered, “Who has the upper hand today?”

He laughed. Laughed and laughed, and when he stopped, when he wiped the tears away, he said, “Oh, I do. You’re going to marry me.”

To my husband-
because he’s seen
the dark recesses of my soul
and hasn’t run screaming.
Yet.
