Becca bit her lower lip.Tyler knew that meant she was unsure of herself.Her words filtered in, filling his heart and soul with overflowing joy.“Want you?I’m never letting you go.”He swept her into his arms.
“I love you, Tyler.I won’t hold it back anymore.”
“I love you too.”He hugged her, happiness surging through his veins.“I was going to drive to the city tonight to find you and tell you that.To see what we could work out.And here you are, my dream come true.I can’t live without you, Becca.”
She beamed.“The universe is looking out for us.”
“Yes.”He glanced around the room.“If you all will excuse us.I need want some private time with my woman.”He guided Becca from the room to rousing applause.
“Your woman?”she asked.
“Yes.”He led her out onto the front porch and slanted his mouth over hers.
“Mine,” he said.“Now, and forever.”
