I moved my tongue against hers, letting them dance with each other as the cold wind surrounded us.

After a long and deep kiss, I pulled back to look at her again. “We’re almost there.”

She turned her head and looked toward the island, and when she realized how close we were, her smile brightened.

“I can’t wait!” she squealed, grabbing both my hands and looking at me again. “I heard they opened a small coffee shop where they make delicious hot chocolate. We should get one,” she suggested.

“Sound good.”

Once we got off the ferry, I grabbed Juno’s hand and threaded my fingers through hers, then started walking with her by my side along the snowy path.

I could tell Juno was doing well when she didn’t say a word and took in everything around her.

She was happy.

Calm.

Just how I wanted her to be.

Things were perfect, and if this was how I’d see her every time we got here, I sure as hell would reconsider taking her to the island every week.

I loved the place as well.

It was where we found our way back to each other after all the drama.

After I had to let her go until we could finally be together.

It occurred to me a few days after we moved in together that we were it.

Made for each other.

She was my one.

So who the fuck was I to not get her whatever she needed?

I spoiled her enough already, but you had no other choice than to keep spoiling a girl like Juno.

She deserved it, and the appreciation and gratefulness flashing in her eyes was what I loved seeing.

I was lucky.

So goddamn lucky.

Juno

“I think I want another one,” I told Ezra as I took the last sip of the hot chocolate.

“You sure?” he asked, already pulling out his wallet.

I gave him a quick nod, then grabbed the card we shared.

We decided on sharing a bank account, so there won’t be any problems when it came to paying the rent or buying the food.

We each put money on there each month, and anything else we wanted, we bought with our own cards.

It was easy, and we never had any arguments about money.

“I’ll take it on the go. We can walk toward the carousel,” I suggested.
