Chapter 85

• “Do you know how much I adore you,” he whispers into my hair.
• I nod and smile. “Yes,” I answer. It’s true, I do feel truly adored. He returns the smile, looking down at me. He’s so much taller when I have no shoes on. His eyes hold mine again and I can’t keep it in any longer. I want this night to be perfect, more perfect than it has been already.
• “Do you know how much I love you, Joshua?” I whisper as I run my hand down the side of his face. His eyes widen and he leans in and gently kisses me. He breaks into a full–blown, swoon – worthy smile. “I just need you to know how I feel about you,” I whisper. “I have never stopped loving you Josh, it’s always been you. You complete me.” My eyes tear up again. What’s going on with me lately, frigging crybaby? He nods and swallows but doesn’t say anything. His eyes glow with a warmth I haven’t seen in them before.
