“Can they still pull you away?”
“No.I have retired.What the psychic did made me unstable.So, I putter in my workshop and try to think of what was missing in my life.Now I know.”He pressed his lips to her forehead, her cheek, and her lips.“Perhaps they can get you in touch with Heraina.I think you processing things with another person in your situation would be helpful.”
Kerra chuckled.“My situation?”
“Assaulted and injured, but you survived, and you were then and are now, loved dearly.”
She chuckled.“You are getting better at this.”
He kissed her temple.“I couldn’t get worse.”
“So, what are we going to do now, Worro?You need to do more than just fuss around in your workshop.”
“I don’t know.They have offered me my position as Wonder back.”
She chuckled.“Stupid name.”
He pressed his forehead to hers.“You thought of it.”
“I didn’t.”
“You did.I was just Finder until you renamed me.It was two days after we first met.”He smiled.“You worked fast.”
She blushed.“Yeah, well.I looked at you and saw forever.It was heady stuff.”
Worro kept her close and kissed her softly.“Just being near you is heady stuff.Do you think you will ever trust me again?”
“Have you gotten your STI test results?”
He blinked.“Yes.I am clear.I thought I told you.”
“Nope.You grabbed me and held me the moment I got to your door.Nice place, by the way.”She smiled.
“It seemed familiar when I saw it.I knew I needed to purchase it.”
She chuckled.
“Why?”
“Think about when we talked about being together and what kind of a home I wanted.”
He paused and looked around.“I bought your house.”
“Our house.Complete with a workshop for you to fuss with.”
He smiled.“Solarium, extra bedrooms for guests and a huge family.Kitchen big enough for us both to move around in.Living room for cuddling and watching movies.”
“Yeah, so I was in there somewhere.”
“That is actually really comforting.”Worro smiled.He got out of her embrace and walked a few steps away before turning and kneeling.“Keera, will you marry me?I want your days, your nights, your tomorrow, and forevers.”
She looked at him and blinked.He took a box out of his pocket and opened it.She stared.“Is that a mining sample?Or a paperweight?”
He chuckled.“It was my great-grandmother’s.She got it when she had my grandmother.”
Keera paused.“It wasn’t a big deal that she was a girl?”
“She was healthy and alive.Aside from that, it didn’t matter.Why?”
