Chapter 148 Waking Up To Zane

• When I open my eyes again, it is midday. I can just tell by the intensity of the sunlight streaming into the room. Zane has me cuddled close in a tight hug, I smile, thinking about how good it feels to have this. To wake up in his arms without any rude intrusion. It is still hard to believe we are out here alone, free to be together and do whatever we want. No fear of being interrupted for any reason. It is a great feeling. My chest swells with outpouring of pure unbelievable joy.
• I bury my face in his chest, his steady heartbeat a balm for my soul. I recall his promise and my smile stretches even more. We are so back together. I don't know how we are going to navigate our relationship in the face of the obstacles, but we are going to find a way. It is something I am willing to fight for. He is worthy of a fight.
• I don't want to think about what our lives will be like when we return to the city. Back to our lives. Me, in my sophomore year. Him, fighting for sole custody of his daughter. It will be trying. It will be a testing time for us. But I am willing to go for it. I am willing to do anything if it means I will get to have him. This larger than life melancholic intelligent man. He is all mine and I am still stuck in disbelief at that fact. So now that he has promised never to let me go, I will be holding onto him even tighter. He is worth it. So worth it.
