Chapter 12

Today, I was taking Chelsea to Sabino Canyon. It was one of the places she had said that she wanted to visit. They had a tram tour, and I had already made reservations for us. Of course, that was before I realized that her ankle was completely healed.

I made a mental note to bring her back later and hike to Seven Falls. She would love seeing that. Looks like she would get to do some more hiking while she was here after all, although, I still wanted to make sure that she took it easy for a few more days.

The tram was two connected trolleys with bench seats. The tour guide would give us an informative tour, so Chelsea would get to learn a lot about the area. She was excited as we slid into our seat. Luckily, the tram was not full, and we had the seat to ourselves.

I kept her hand tucked in mine as the tram pulled away and the tour began. Chelsea pulled out her phone and took numerous pictures of the desert oasis around us. I could see it in her eyes. She was fascinated, and it warmed my heart that she loved my hometown as much as I did.

When she turned the camera on us, I reached my arm around her shoulder and leaned towards her, posing with a smile for her picture. She showed me the photo, and I could not help thinking how happy I looked. Truly happy. A happiness that I had never experienced before.

Since Chelsea stumbled into my life, the restlessness that I had been feeling for so long was gone. My every thought was filled with her, and I had never been more at peace. I knew that I was going to have to tell her soon.

I was going to have to tell her what I was and what I now knew that she was also. Somehow, I was going to have to figure out how to tell her without scaring her and without making her run. I didn’t want her to pull away from me. It was going to be a lot for her to handle, but I would be there with her.

Chelsea was looking down at her phone, and I knew that she had sent the picture to someone. Curiosity got the better of me.

“Who did you send that to?” I asked her. She grinned when she looked up at me.

“My best friend, Jessica. I’ve known her my whole life. She told me before I left that I had to find a hot guy while I was here. I’d definitely say I took her advice,” she said, and I laughed.

“Glad to know that you think I’m hot. You need to send me that picture too,” I replied. She gave me a gorgeous smile and looked back down at her phone. I could not help reading the text back from her friend.

“OMG!! SO JEALOUS!!” the reply message said. Chelsea grinned up at me again, and that’s when I saw it.
