That kiss was the defining moment when I realized that I was still very much in love with Rae. Regardless of the past, and how my own parents’ marriage ruined my outlook on the happily-ever-after aspect. No two people could be more entwined than us at this very point in time. We spent the rest of the morning walking the streets of Denver enjoying each other’s company, I kept checking with Samson to make sure Braden was fine just so I could put Rae’s mind at ease. After sightseeing, I had one more stop to make before we headed home.

“Can you bear to be in my company a little while longer?”

“Depends on what it all entails,” Rae said and put the helmet on.

“You will like it, I promise.”

“We’ll see.”

I revved the engine and set off, I liked how Rae’s arms felt around me when she clung to me and I was tempted to speed up a bit, but then the thought did cross my mind that she might squeeze the air from my lungs and we’ll end up in the nearest ditch.

A few minutes later I pulled into the parking lot of the Botanical Gardens and again helped Rae off the bike. This time we left the helmets on the bike and made our way through the large gates. It was late noon and the sun had already started to set, there were only a few other couples around, so I picked one of the benches near the willow trees and water pond that looked like a deck of lilies. With the sun already disappearing, so did the star white flowers, but the fragrance still hung heavily in the air.

“This place is breath taking,” Rae said as she sat down on the bench.

“It really is, I don’t think it gets nearly enough credit, the locals don’t always appreciate the beauty of this place.”

“Wasn’t this where one of those corpse flowers bloomed recently?” she asked curiously.

I was impressed, very few people were aware of the sudden anomaly that hit the US by storm after multiple corpse flowers bloomed around the same time, “Yeah it’s in one of the pavilions, but it’s not blooming anymore. I was on tour when it happened otherwise I would have been here to watch it bloom.”

“I would have loved to see it, better luck next time,” she said smiling.

“I’ll make sure you see the next bloom.”

She was sitting up with her back straight and her hands planted on her knees. From her casual demeanour earlier, she almost came across as nervous now.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course I am, why do you ask?”

“You just seem, I don’t know, tense.”

“I just, I’ve never been away from Braden this long, and its already starting to get dark.”

I moved closer to her and wrapped my arm around her shoulders, then took her hand in mine and pressed my lips against her finger tips, “Braden is fine, I’ve been checking with Samson every hour.”

She sighed, “I know, I’m being silly.”

At that
