He grinned and leaned down to kiss her.

"I'll try to make sure that your faith is not misplaced."

 

"Fantastic, huh?" he asked, giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Well, I think you're pretty wonderful yourself."

 

"I do," he replied, nodding with certainty. "I think you're extremely wonderful, actually."

 

"I don't understand what?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

 

He laughed, his forehead leaning against hers.

"I still can't really come to terms with the fact that you want me. I spent those last two years thinking that it just wouldn't happen. So the fact that you're here..." He shook his head. "It's a little strange for me to come to terms with."

 

He grinned down at her. "I know I'm pretty lucky to have you. I really, really love you."

 

He kissed her, smiling against her lips. When he pulled away, he paused and then frowned.

"Ugh. I have to go pack for Maydye," he said. "Do you want to come?"

 

"It's mostly just inventory," he said, sighing as he pulled away from her. "We're selling some stuff while we're there, and I'm in charge of that."

 

"I could make you do it too," he teased. "Don't test me."

 

"Much better," he said, giving her a grin before taking her hand. "Let's go."
