Staring at Olympia, he couldn’t help leaning in to kiss her.
“What was that for?” she asked when they broke apart. Her lashes fluttered and Harlan was content to see a dreamy smile.
“That, my dear, was because I simply couldn’t resist.”

But now, in the water park, the very air singing with laughter and joy, Harlan added his own voice to the melody.
