Chapter 106

• I take his hand and kiss the back of it. “Your body is here, Joshua … but has your heart come home to me?” My eyes frost over with tears.
• He kisses me softly on the lips. “My heart has never left you—it’s been with you for seven years presh. I’m a shell when I’m not with you.”
• My eyes hold his as he rubs the backs of his fingers down my face. My beautiful gentle Josh is here. I kiss him tenderly. He doesn’t let his guard down with me very often and I have to take advantage.
