After dinner, we made plans to meet up in Seattle for Christmas shopping on the twenty-first. Martin claimed he needed a “transition city” and couldn’t go straight from LA life to Heathenville in Camassia. Henry and I humored him, and then we said goodbye for now.

Across the street from the restaurant was a Japanese garden that shared the view we’d had inside, and Henry and I walked down the steps to enjoy a little peace and quiet. That feeling was hard to come by in this town, and we tended to savor it in whatever nook we found it.

Spotlights illuminated a few bonsai trees here and there, otherwise leaving the garden blanketed in complete darkness. I paused by a koi pond, peering into the water.

“Come here.” Henry squeezed my hand and guided me over to a private spot. There, he positioned me in front of him, his hands gripping the wooden railing on either side of me. With his chin resting on my shoulder, I let out a sigh of contentment and looked out over the city.

It was so quiet and perfect. Moments like these had the best effect on me, tension draining away, my mind powering down. I placed his hands on my stomach instead, wanting his arms around me.

“Tonight was nice,” he murmured.

I hummed, definitely agreeing. My gaze landed on the skyscrapers in downtown LA. “My brain is so hooked on this.” I smiled lazily at his quiet chuckle, and I closed my eyes and brushed my hand over his. In the V between his thumb and index finger, his skin was the softest.

It was the same in the crease behind his knees and where his thigh met his crotch. The softest and smoothest skin that I could kiss and nuzzle for hours. He’d turned me into a freakishly cuddly person, and it was a hobby to explore and get to know every inch.

“I love you.”

My mouth stretched into a smile. “I love you too.”

He pressed a kiss to my neck, and then his warmth disappeared from my back. I frowned and opened my eyes, ready to demand he return my support pillar to me. Instead, he cut me off with a languid kiss. I angled my head as he cupped the back of my neck, and I stroked my tongue along his.

With a few chaste pecks, he broke the connection. And went down on one knee. Holy fuck. The rush of emotions tightened my gut and made me react weirdly. I grinned and let out a breathy laugh; my eyes watered, and I spared one glance at the night sky. Don’t mess this up, Zach! Meeting his gaze again, I felt my throat close up.

“I didn’t want you to see it coming.” His eyes sparked with amusement, and I saw a lot more too. A hint of nerves, a whole lot of affection.

“I didn’t,” I croaked. Way to be cool.

He grabbed my hand in both of his and kissed the top. “I’ve proposed to you a hundred ways in my head, darling.
