It's not that I doubt helovesme.
Or that he'scommitted.

I want to stand at the altar with the man I love and sayIdo.
Kit's eyes fix on mine. He stares at me like he's staring intomysoul.

Like he wants to know every little thought inmyhead.
"Talk to me." Kit's voice is even, soft. He wants inmyhead.
I can’t blame him. I certainly want inhishead.
Or to shake him and ask him what the hell he'swaitingfor.

"Call medelusional."
"You really think I'm going to get an A inchemistry?"
"Is it that hard tobelieve?"
Yes. Does he really think it's possible? I stare back at him as I nod. "It's the least likely thing to happen in the history of theuniverse."
"The history of theuniverse?"
"Yes."
