“And if I want to take another role in California?”

“I’ll buy a house here.”

“If I want to spend my twenties traveling?”

“I have a passport.”

“And if I want to stay single for a while and date other people?”

I bite back a smile.

“Why would you want to waste years experiencing disappointment?”

I laugh as he pulls me against him again.

“And you’re still the worst fucking liar I’ve ever met.”

“Why is that good?”

I wrap my arms around his neck.

“Because you’ll always know when I mean this.”

“Mean what?”

I kiss him once.

“I love you, Jameson.”

For once, he doesn’t have a sarcastic response.

He just looks at me.

Then he kisses me like he has all the time in the world.

And this time, neither of us has anywhere else to be.
