“Wren, I…I’m still sorry,” I offered but then she shook her head.
“You said Mr Jordin would like my muffins. Since I know he likes my cookies I thought I would make both.”
Oh God, she wasn’t mad anymore. Hope and excitement coursed through me.
“I can tell you he’s very grateful.” I stepped closer.
“Oh that’s great. I’m glad to hear that because I don’t have much to offer. He saved me in a massive way, cleared all my debts and gave me a chance to keep my dream alive.” She offered a little smile.
“Mr. Jordin sounds like a nice guy, but those cookies are like gold. Can’t really put a price on them.”
Emotion welled in her eyes. “He’s the best. Far too good for me, but since I’m head over heels in love with him I’m hoping that maybe I can deserve him one day. I’m hoping I can still be enough with my cookies and my love.”
I couldn’t believe what she was saying, and I couldn’t believe the way I felt. My heart soared, glowing within the walls of my chest. I moved to her and swept her up into my arms and kissed her.
“I love you.” I told her, whispering the words against her lips.
“I love you too Adam Jordin.” She pressed her forehead to mine. “And I still feel like I’m walking around in a dream because I can’t believe you did all that for me.”
“I love you. It was easy.” I ran my finger along the smooth, silk of her skin.
“Adam,” she breathed gazing into my eyes. “Thank you so much for everything. That was what I should have said last night. Thank you, thank you. I couldn’t possibly say enough thanks.”
I cupped her face and gazed down at her. It felt so great to finally hear her say my name. “You’re more than welcome. Wren, I’m really sorry. I wished I told you who I was before.”
“No, it’s fine. It’s a nice surprise. You said AJ was short for something and that you’d tell me soon. And you did tell me. I was just shocked. Thank you for everything Mr. Delicious.” She smiled into the kiss she gave me.
“You know how you can thank me.”
“How?”
“Go to Rome with me.”
“Bags already packed.”
I laughed and picked her up. Holding her close with the comfort and satisfaction of knowing that she was all mine.
Mine only and everything I could have ever wanted.
No more talking.
Time to indulge on my Mrs. Delicious.
