It takes all my willpower to push Willow’s palm away from my crotch. My cock strains in protest. It knows that release would be sweet coming from her hand.

Willow’s too good to rush. I didn’t even think I’d see her when I came back to Woodvale, let alone kiss her, or do anything more.

There are too many things going on right now, and I need to get my head straight. I don’t want to hurt her. Not again.

She sighs against me, still lying on the couch cushion I threw on the floor. I let my fingers drift over her silky skin, tracing patterns over her body that mean nothing to anyone but us.

“Hey, Frogface?”

Her lips tug, but her eyes remain closed. “Yeah?”

“Do you believe in forever?”

Her eyes open. Sapphires stare back at me for a moment before Willow lets out a sigh. She rolls onto her back, looking up at the ceiling.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you help people get married for a living. You must like the idea of forever.”

“Forever’s a long time. Mostly I like the money.”

Her words sting, and I’m not sure why. She glances at me, nudging me with her elbow. “Have you gone soft, living in New York City? I thought that place was supposed to be rough.”

I grin, shaking my head. “I was thinking about my parents. I never thought they loved each other, but seeing my mom today…I think maybe she did love him. Maybe she thought about forever.”

“Love is strange. It makes you look past the bad and hope for better, even when everything goes wrong. It makes you forgive when you should walk away, and it makes you keep trying when you should give up. It’s not logical.”

“No.” I sigh, staring at the way her lips move.

“What about you? Do you believe in a forever kind of love?”

“You never gave me a straight answer, and now you’re asking me to spill my guts?” I grin, twisting a piece of her hair around my finger.

Willow laughs, shaking her head. “Fine. I think…yes. I believe in that kind of love. What else is there to believe in? But I don’t think everyone gets it, and I don’t think everyone deserves it.” She looks at me, her eyes digging deep into the dungeon of my soul. “But I also think that giving love is just as good as receiving it, and a lot of people either refuse to admit that, or they just forget that it’s true.”

“I don’t know if I believe in love. Not in the way they show it in the movies,” I say. There’s a but hanging on the tip of my tongue.

But I could change my mind.

But I could be wrong.

But I could be in love with you.

Willow smiles, turning her body to face mine. She rests her hand on my chest, crawling it up to stroke my collarbone. “Just because it isn’t like the movies doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

“I think you enjoy watching people get married, but you pretend you don’t care.
