At Grey’s nod, I threw my arms around his neck in excitement, pulling him down for a quick, celebratory kiss.
“That’s amazing! You’re going to own a house.” I turned to look at the field once more, just barely able to make out the plot in the fading light.
Grey pulled me back into his chest, resting his chin on my shoulder. “If all goes according to plan, I hope I can share it with you someday.”
“I could be persuaded to make that happen, when the time is right.”
Someday, probably a few more months down the road, once Grey and I had a little more dating under our belts, he’d ask me a question that I already knew the answer to. A question I could picture him asking right here on one knee. It was a questionwe’d talked about, but Grey was smart enough to know I needed a little more time. So much had changed so quickly, and while I was doing better at being flexible and brave, I still had my moments of overwhelm. Thankfully, with Grey and his gentle coaxing, I found myself more able to meet life’s unexpected turns head on.
My cheeks ached from smiling as I settled back against Grey and enjoyed the moment, the last specks of light fading and the stars coming out to wink at us. Life would bring more adventures and wandering. I’d probably even get lost from time to time, my anxiety leading me astray. But I knew no matter where life took us, for me Grey would always be home.
The End
