years? Seven?
    But now he kissed me, his lips toying with mine in that delicious way. My eyes fluttered closed, the heat in my chest building with each breath that he stole from me. I couldn’t help but be grateful for the years we’d had in between to grow up, to gain confidence, to find each other once again.
    And finally, we had timing on our side too. I was free and so, now, was he.
    When our mouths parted, steam escaped our lips and I could see that he was just now starting to shiver. I laughed.
    “You look like you’re about to keel over from hypothermia.” I smiled.
    A lazy grin stretched across his mouth. “Maybe I want to go inside for another reason altogether.”
    “Well there is more than one way to…warm up…”
    He reached down and grabbed my hand and enfolded it in his own, and we strode toward the illuminated cabin together. My head sank to his shoulder and my eyes closed momentarily even as my heartbeat sped up in anticipation.
    It was finally happening. All my girlish fantasies were about to come true.
    And maybe this would live up to those, or maybe it would be even better.
    “Jeremy.” I paused on the porch before he opened the door.
    He turned to look at me, a smile curving his lips, his eyebrows raised with the unasked question.
    “For me, it was always you, too.”
    And who knew at this early stage, this very beginning. But I had a very good feeling that from here on out, it would be only him. And for him, only me.
