Carmen stood on tiptoe in her tennis shoes, searching for Carlos’s car among the many that dropped off and picked up passengers at the airport sidewalk.

He had said he was less than two minutes away, but she still didn’t see him. Almost a month had passed since she’d touched him, and she was anxious and impatient to do so again. She was about to call him one more time but saw him walking toward her with his easy-going stride.

His curly hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and he wore a tie-dye vintage T-shirt, jeans, and the same group of bracelets and rings she saw the last time she was in Georgia.

Carmen immediately released her luggage and ran toward him. His eyes brightened into a smile as she jumped into his open arms. Laughing, he spun twice in a circle before setting her on her feet and then gave her a thorough kiss that made her body wilt against him and her toes curl into the soles of her shoes.

“Mmm,” she said when their lips parted.

“Finally,” Carlos murmured, looking down at her with slitted eyes.

“It’s been forever.” Carmen laced her arms around his neck, certain the love filling her heart must be evident in her eyes.

He looked over her shoulder at the luggage. “You abandoned your bag.”

“I don’t care. Everything in it is replaceable.”

He laughed and rubbed a hand up and down her back. “Come on, let’s get out of here before they tow me. I couldn’t get close to the curb, but I’m right over there.”

Reluctantly, Carmen released him, and Carlos took the handle of the suitcase and led the way to a red, older model Jeep Wrangler with a soft top.

“It looks brand new,” Carmen remarked, standing back to get a good look. The last time she saw the vehicle, it had been clean but looked much more used.

Carlos placed her bag in the back and shut the door. “New paint job.”

“When?”

He held open the passenger door. “Last week. Get in.”

He’d obviously had the interior done as well. The seats and rugs were spotless and had that newly washed smell.

Carmen climbed in. “You didn’t have to do any of this.”

“I wanted to. I hated that you got into my car the last time, in the condition that it was in. That wasn’t good enough. You deserve nothing but the best.” He braced a hand on the seat and kissed her, the firm pressure of his mouth warming her insides. “I’m so glad you’re here,” he whispered.

“Me, too,” she whispered back, letting her fingers trail down his jaw.
