  47. About the Author
  48. What’s next onyour reading list?

Quinton closes the refrigerator and walks over to me with a Diet Coke in his hand. “You like it?”

“Do I like it?” I take the soda from his hand and roll on to my toes to drop a kiss on his mouth. “I freaking love it! Don’t you?”

“I actually do, and look.” He points to the living room floor that is also covered by a massive rug.

My eyes go wide and I shove my hand into his shoulder. “Is that the one I told you I loved when we were at the mall? You bought it?”

As a Mustangs fan, I was bummed when they got knocked out of the playoffs. As a girlfriend, I was thrilled. Because as much as I loved spending time with Quinton during the football season, having him to myself every day is so much better. If anything, now I’m the busy one.

Working at the Rue with Jen has been amazing. I can’t believe I went so long thinking that hating so many parts of my job was normal. Now I get to go to work and love what I do. Even when we get a difficult client, I still come home with a smile on my face.

“Yeah.” He sits on the couch and almost looks embarrassed. “I snuck back in and ordered it while you were in line for ice cream.”

“Sneaky, but I like it.” I put my soda on a coaster and sit on the couch next to him. “It looks perfect in here.”

He turns to me, his face suddenly serious as different scenarios race through my mind.

“You look perfect in here.” He twists his body so that he’s facing me and pulls me into his arms. “I used to hate coming home to this place. It was so empty, so cold. But the second you stepped through that door, things began to change. I know you’ve said your condo never felt right to you, so what do you say? Do you want to move in with me? We can turn this place into a home together.”

I’m still in therapy. I have a lot of issues I still need to work my way through, but there is one thing that I know for sure—when I’m with Quinton, I feel safe. I fit and I belong. Whether it was the times we’ve spent laughing, crying, or even the time we were apart, he’s always accepted me for me.

“Yes.” I nod my head, watching as his face lights up just before our mouths touch, confirming what I already knew.

There’s no place in the world I would rather be.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Playbook Series was originally only supposed to be three books. So, first and foremost, thank you to Berkley for giving me the opportunity to continue this series and tell this story.
