“I think you’re incredible,” he says. “Everything you’ve been through and you’re here, one hundred percent yourself, making yourself vulnerable.” He shuts his eyes in a long blink, like he’s having to steel himself. “I think you’re the strongest person I know. And the most beautiful. The kindest and… and sexiest. And I’ve really, really missed you.”

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look away from him. I don’t want this moment to end. I don’t want him to get to the but.

“It’s tricky,” he says. “Me being the owner. You working at the Club. I think we can figure it out.”

My eyes widen. I didn’t hear a but there.

“And you’re right, my plan isn’t to stay in Star Falls year-round,” he says. “We can figure that out too. Nothing stays the same. We’ll have to navigate the changes together.”

No buts. Where are the buts? I need him to jump to the goddamn buts, because otherwise I might just die of hope.

His mouth curls up at the corners and his eyes sparkle at me. “I think I knew the moment you walked into Grizzly’s that you were it for me,” he says. “Worth knew. He saw it in me. But I needed you to pick me for me, to know for sure that you weren’t going along with things.” He pauses and narrows his eyes. “I didn’t realize that until tonight, but you turning up here, telling me you want me—it’s all I needed. We can figure the rest out.”

I sit up straight and take his head in my hands. I’m not sure if I’m dreaming, but if I am, I hope I stay asleep. I press a kiss to his lips, and we crash against each other like lovers who’ve been separated months rather than days.

I just know I never want to be without him again. Not days, not hours, not a goddamn moment.

He pulls away, and for a fleeting second, doubt creeps back in. Until he says, “I know this is soon, but I need you to know…” He holds my face, our gazes locked, lips swollen from our kiss. “I love you, Rosey Williams. I think I did from the moment we met.”

All doubt disappears, melting into my past where it belongs. All I can focus on now is my future. With Byron. “I love you too,” I say.
