“Yeah, of course. That was implied, wasn’t it?”

Christ, just when I thought I couldn’t love this woman any more, she went and proved me wrong.

“You know how I think we should celebrate?” I asked, looping my arms around her waist and pulling her into me. I burrowed my face in her neck, inhaling her fragrance before pressing a kiss to her lips.

“H-how?” she asked as she melted into me.

Pulling back, I looked down at her, smiling bigger and brighter than I had in years before she’d come into my life. That was just the effect she had on me. She made life better.

“By packing up your apartment and moving you in with me and Eli.”

She beamed back up at me. “It just so happens, I bet Tali that if we pulled this meal off, she and Nick had to come over and box up my entire apartment by themselves.”

“Ah,” I chuckled. “So you already knew I was going to suggest it.”

She snorted loudly. “Of course I did. I’m a very smart woman.”

“Yes you are. I love you.”

Her arms banded around my neck, her fingers sliding into the hair at the nape of my neck. “Good, because you’re stuck with me forever.”

“Promise?”

I wasn’t sure I’d ever seen a more beautiful smile than the one my bombshell gave me day after day. “Absolutely.”

The End.
