Chapter 146

• I'm falling in love with this man, or perhaps it's already too late. Maybe I've already fallen and there is no chance of getting back up again.
• "Yes" I mumble with a grin. His answering grin is one I would walk across glass to see again, as he picks me up by my waist and uncharacteristically spins me around the kitchen. I clutch onto his shoulders tightly, laughing along with him like a love struck school girl. At last he sets me down on my feet and his hands cup my cheeks, pulling me in to him and pressing his lips against mine. I melt into him, my hands sliding their way up from his shoulders to his hair, tugging it down in an effort to draw him in even closer.
• "Were you nervous" I ask him when we both come up for air, his hot breath puffing our across my nose.
