I reached out and held Faith’s hand across the table at The Coffee Shop. “I’ve missed you.”

I saw the flicker of a smile on her face as she squeezed my hand back. “I needed time to deal. But…I’ve missed you too.”

I loved the comforting feeling of her touch. I missed it, everything about her. She wanted some space to process what Preston had done. It’s been a couple of weeks of agony on my end. She threw herself into work, getting home late and hiding out in my spare room every night. It felt more like she wanted time away from me. She took Preston’s betrayal to heart, but I wasn’t him. I just wanted her to be happy.

“You know that the feelings I had didn’t go away, right?” I stared deep in her pretty blue eyes. “I’m still in love with you, Faith.”

She covered her face with the hand I wasn’t holding. “Well, obviously you know I’m still in love with you.”

“I hoped so. Couldn’t tell the past couple of weeks.” I winked, making her giggle. “All seriousness, I want you.”

She sucked in a breath and darted her eyes around the people in the cafe. “Asher!”

“Not just your body, though that’s also welcomed.” She narrowed her eyes and I put my hands up in defeat. “I want to take care of you. I want a relationship with you. It’s something I should’ve asked for seven years ago.”

She nipped at her lips. “My engagement just ended.”

I brought my gaze up to hers. “You were in a loveless relationship.”

Her eyes softened. “I know that, but people will talk.”

“Have I ever cared what people thought?” I raised an eyebrow.

“No, but—”

“But nothing. I love you and you love me. We have a lot of lost time to catch up on. Why should we wait?”

She fell silent, messing with the ends of her hair. “I don’t have an answer to that.”

“Because you know I’m right,” I countered.

She had to realize that. I get that she is hesitant but she didn’t love the guy. He fucked his client in front of her, for fucksake.

Her cheeks were pink as she sipped on her latte. “You’re right. Let’s give us a go.”

“Then you’re all mine, and I’m never letting you go.”

She tucked her hair behind her ear. “I fell for you so hard in high school.”

“I fell for you too.”

Tears began to pool in her eyes. “When I saw all those girls tagging you on social media, it hurt so bad.”

My hand grabbed hers across the table once again. “I tried forgetting about you when I should’ve just picked up the phone and called you.”

“It goes both ways. I could’ve called too,” she murmured. “How many girls have you been with after me?”

I took a deep breath before answering, “Three. What about you?”

Her face scrunched up. “Just Preston.”

“I fucking hate that,” I snapped. She went to pull away but I grabbed her hand. “I’m sorry. I just mean I hate how terrible he was to you.”

She fiddled with her hand.
