He kissed her temple. “What are your reasons today?”
She sighed. They might have been together for only three months, but this man knew her better than most. She turned to face him, but he kept his arms wrapped tight around her.
“I’m a lot.”
“I like a challenge.”
“Have you ever lived with anyone?”
“Yes.”
“Your family doesn’t count.”
His mouth twitched. “Okay, then no, but that doesn’t mean anything.”
She nodded. “I just need to know.”
She would have to explain what she meant to other people, but with Seth, she didn’t. He seemed to understand her better than even her brother and father.
Seth cupped her face. “We need to just take it one day at a time.”
Autumn rolled her eyes at the trite saying.
“Don’t,” he said, brushing his mouth over hers. “We can do this, Autumn. You can do this. And if we irritate the hell out of each other, we’ll just be like all the other couples I know.”
She sighed and leaned forward to rest her head on his chest. “Don’t be charming when I’m freaking out.”
He chuckled, and the sound vibrated from his chest, warming her heart.

She leaned back and caught the concern she saw on his face. It disappeared so fast she thought she might have imagined it.
“What?”
He cocked his head.
“You’re worried about something.”
“Nope.”
“Oh, God, you are.” She pulled out of his embrace and backed away. “You’re having second thoughts.”
He snorted. “Not likely.”
“Then, what are you worried about? And do not lie to me. I know that you’re worried about something.”
He opened his mouth, but she stopped him.
“Don’t lie.”
His mouth snapped shut, and then he sighed.
“Listen, it’s just a concern that I have.”
“And what would that be?”
