But as soon as I'm close enough, I can see someone sitting on my steps. It's a woman, and she's wearing a big floppy hat, her legs crossed as she looks at something on her phone.

"Can I help you?" I ask, and she jumps, nearly dropping her phone.

"Shit, Adam!" She pulls her hat off, letting her white-blond hair tumble around her shoulders. "You scared the crap out of me."

"Laurie?" I blink several times, sure that I'm dreaming. "What are you doing here?"

She stands up, taking a couple of steps towards me. "I came to talk to you." We stand there in silence for a long moment until Laurie speaks again. "Do you think we can do this inside? Before one of the neighbors calls the cops? I've been waiting out here for over an hour."

This shakes me out of my shock. I laugh and walk up the stairs, unlocking the door and holding it open for her. She walks past me, and I catch a whiff of her shampoo, sending memories flooding back. But I force myself to shut the door and lead her into the living room.

"This place is great," she says, looking around. "This is where we should have been spending our time. Maybe?—"

"Maybe we wouldn't have gotten caught fucking by our parents?" I cross my arms, leaning back against the door. Laurie's mouth falls open at my words. "Listen, Laurie, what in the hell are you doing here? I thought you moved to New York a week ago."

I see her ball her fists, and when she looks up at me, there's a haze of tears in her eyes. "Fuck New York."

"Excuse me?"

"New York was a mistake." She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand. "It's too expensive, and my apartment is so small that I can barely breathe, and it's just so fast-paced, and I've been miserable, Adam. And you haven't even tried to call me since you left, so maybe you're fine without me. I mean, I guess I never thought..."

She trails off, wiping at her eyes again. I take a step towards her, but she holds up a hand.

"I'm sorry," she says, sniffling. "This wasn't how I wanted this to go." She takes a deep breath, then lets it out slowly.

"It's okay," I say, because I'm still reeling from seeing her here in my home. "I'm just confused about why you're here."

Laurie squares her shoulders. "I came to tell you that I love you."

The entire world skids to a halt. "What?"

"I'm in love with you, Adam, and I think you might love me, too. And I just couldn't keep going with my life like this. With us apart. Because it hurts so much, and it's been hurting ever since you left."

She's in my arms in an instant, and I turn her around, her back against the door as I kiss her, pouring all of the emotions of the past month into it. Laurie wraps her legs around me like it's the most natural thing in the world, her hands in my hair, her body pressed to mine as our tongues tangle desperately.

When we finally break apart, she's panting and looking up at me with a mixture of lust and adoration that makes my heart ache. "Adam...?"

"I love you," I tell her. "I love you so much, Laurie, and I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. We wasted so much time."

The thought is wild and out of control, but every time I've second-guessed myself or waited too long with Laurie, I've regretted it.

I guess we're destined to move at the speed of light, and that's fine with me.

"Marry me," I tell her between kisses. "Marry me, Laurie, and to hell with what anyone else thinks."

She stares at me, her mouth hanging open. "What? Really?"

"Really," I say. "I love you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. So marry me."

"Yes!" She kisses me again, harder than before, and I can feel her smiling against my lips. "Yes, yes, yes, I'll marry you!"

Feeling high with emotion, I carry her to my bedroom and lay her on the mattress. We shed our clothes as fast as humanly possible, desperate to feel skin on skin. Laurie wraps herself around me as soon as I climb on top of her, kissing me over and over again as if she can't bear to be apart from me.

I feel the same way.

I slip two fingers between her thighs, stroking her until she's wet and panting beneath me. Then I flip her onto her stomach, my hands massaging the perfect globes of her ass while I pepper kisses along her spine.
