Leon didn’t look too upset about the girl, but I could sense that not getting his happy ever after, was hard for him.
“You ever see her around?” I ask, thinking about how difficult I found it now I was back in town, seeing Elijah.
“No, she moved away, but I see her sister occasionally. Apparently, she’s on her second husband. The first left her for someone else, but her sister reckons the new husband is a good guy.”
“Hopefully her temper has calmed down,” I offered.
“Hopefully.” Leon nodded. “Or maybe I just wasn’t the right one for her either. Anyway, less of this misery, talking about our exes. Let’s talk about our next date.”
His gaze was steady as he waited for my response. My own eyes drew to a twitch in his jaw and then to his lips, the top one being slightly fuller than the bottom one and I felt a desire to kiss them. Quickly looking up to his eyes, I nodded.
“Yes, lets, I’m looking forward to it already.”
Leon leaned forward, gave me a soft kiss on my cheek and it felt good. I wanted this and for the first time in a long time, was excited for what was to come.
