Avery rushed around the table to me, banging his leg into the corner. I winced, and stepped toward him, closing the distance between us. Not missing a beat he grabbed me by the shoulders and pressed his mouth to mine. I could hardly breathe and I could hardly care. Who knew when or if we would have a chance to be together again?

“I love you,” I whispered into his mouth. There wasn’t any way I was going to be like the dream me and not tell him that.

He pulled back slightly, resting his forehead against mine, relaxing his grip on my shoulders. “I love you too.” He grinned, and I had to fight the urge to trace his beautiful lips with the tip of my tongue. “I’m glad you chose to be alone with me, I had to kiss you one more time.”

“Three minutes!” Melody shouted from the stairwell.

Avery stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small box. “Merry Christmas.”

I took his gift with my right hand and thrust his gift at him with my left. “Merry Christmas.” I nodded at the shirt box, “You first.” I had a feeling the present he’d gotten me was going to be a lot better than the one I’d gotten him.

“Okay.” He ripped into the paper and yanked the lid off the box. “Cool!” He held the shirt up to his chest. “Cruel, but cool.”

I slapped his arm. “What’s cruel about a t-shirt?”

He leaned over and whispered in my ear. “Minnie Mouse has come to represent many naughty, naughty things to me, Zel. Every time I wear this shirt, I’m going to be thinking--”

“Avery, we’re in church!” I put my hand on his chest to push him away, but didn’t.

He skimmed his lips across my jaw line, lingering over my mouth.

“One minute!” Melody called.

As much as it killed me, I separated my mouth from his. “I need to open your present!” I tore the paper from the little box and opened it, only to find a small green velvet drawstring bad inside. Avery took the bag from me and spilled the necklace into my open palm. Tears sped to my eyes, my heart aching.

“We’re coming in!” Melody said, warning.

I lunged at Avery, hooking my arm around his neck, crushing his mouth to mine. Memorizing him. Too quickly, he was backing away from me, t-shirt in hand, passing Melody and Pastor Morris as they came into the room. I watched him leave, never taking my eyes off of him. Sinking down onto a metal folding chair, I opened my palm, staring at what had been enclosed in my hand. Avery had given me a pendant in the shape of a bullet, on a silver chain, engraved with the words, “My heart is yours.”

Yeah.

And I’d given him a t-shirt.
