The knowledge that my girl loves me has me completely fucking elated. Never have I been more at peace with myself. I’ve been on cloud nine since hearing Ronnie admit her feelings. Now that she knows how much I love her—I can finally fucking relax. The words have been on the tip of my tongue for so long—yearning to be expressed—and now that they’ve been said I can’t stop repeating them. I’ve spent the entire morning telling her over and over again how deeply I feel for her.

When she says she loves me, too… God, no words have ever sounded sweeter. For her to have any type of feelings toward me is more than I ever could’ve hoped for. I just can’t wrap my head around someone loving me, especially someone who’s not obligated to. My father loves me—but I’m his son. Grey loves me—but that’s because I’m the only father he has. Ronnie could’ve chosen anyone in the world, but she chose me: a struggling, single dad. It’s fucking baffling to me, however, that doesn’t mean I’m not thrilled with the fact. Shit, I’m beyond thrilled to be honest. I don’t think there are words to describe the amount of happiness that’s coursing through my body.

“What are you staring at?” Ronnie asks, looking up at me from over her breakfast menu.

“You,” I answer with a smirk as I feed Grey his oatmeal. Mae and Lincoln are supposed to meet us for breakfast, but so far, they’ve been no shows. I went ahead and ordered Grey’s food. Ronnie and I decided to wait politely until they arrive. “I love you.”

She smiles and takes a sip of her tea. “You can’t stop saying it now, can you?” she sheepishly asks. “I love you, too, Trev.”

I reach across the table to hold her hand, enjoying the warmth of her palm against mine. “I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of saying it,” I say, honestly. “I’ve been wanting to tell you for so long.”

“You did.”

My brows shoot up in surprise. “What? When did I tell you?”

She gives me another sheepish smile before shrugging. “With your eyes. In the way you would look at me. I’m sure I’ve been looking at you the exact same way.”

Now that she’s mentioned it, I know she has. She’s illustrated her love for me in so many ways. I’ve had my head too far up my own ass to notice. I always thought of myself as unlovable—so, I never read too much into the things she did. Thinking back about the way she’d always looked at me warms my fucking heart. She’s loved me all this time and I never allowed myself to believe it until now. “I’m so lucky to have you, baby. I have no idea where I’d be without you.”

“Well, you’d definitely be missing out if I wasn’t in your life,” Ronnie teases me.

My stomach grumbles. I decide to pull my phone out and send a text Lincoln just to touch base and see when he plans on showing up.
