Cam

I don’t understand this feeling in my chest whenever she looks at me. Or the way my skin prickles when my hand touches her skin. Or why the fuck I melt into a puddle at her feet when she gushes about her daughter.

Get. It. Together. Asshole.

I’ve never given a fuck about anyone else’s happiness besides my family’s. But with her? I’d do anything just to make her smile.

“The Botanical Gardens?” She whirls around. “I’ve always wanted to come to them. I figured the lights were taken down since Christmas is over.”

“They keep it going till the end of January, apparently.”

I admire her taking in the lights. They are beautiful, no doubt. But not nearly as beautiful as her seeing them for the first time.

Thousands of twinkly lights span over the entire park. Over trees and on the bushes.

“I almost feel like I’m home,” she whispers. “Besides that we’re walking in light sweatshirts, and at home, I’d have full snow gear.”

The way she says home, I sense she misses New Hampshire. I guess I don’t blame her. Georgia and New England are two entirely different places. I’m sure it’s been a big adjustment.

As she walks ahead of me, she stops and looks up at the huge archway that’s covered with lights.

I reach for her, holding her waist as I put my chin on her shoulder. “Thanks for coming on this trip, gorgeous.”

Craning her neck slightly, she peers at me. “Thanks for asking. I’d probably be three or four cookies deep and FaceTiming my mother for the tenth time today to see Isla.”

“Sweetheart, I know you said no hookups, but I really, really need to kiss you.”

“Cam,” she says, barely whispering, “you shouldn’t kiss me. We shouldn’t complicate things.”

Stepping back, I turn her to face me. Slowly backing her up into the darkness behind the archway, I press her chin up with my thumb. “Yeah, I’ve told myself that for weeks. But you know what? I’m done with that now.” Resting my other hand on the tree behind her, I dip my head closer to hers. “What’s the point in trying to stay away when all I want is you?”

She blinks. “Cam, you don’t mean that—”

“I do though. I really do.”

“How can you be so sure?” she says, challenging me. “How do you know that, in a week or two, this won’t fizzle out? That you won’t lose interest?”

“Because I’ve never given a fuck about anyone until you.” I move my hand to her cheek. “Ever since you rocked my world our first night together, you haven’t left my mind.”

Her eyes fill with tears. “You don’t understand. I can’t take chances. My dad. Isla—”

“Your dad will get over it. And as for Isla, it doesn’t scare me that you’re a mother. Not at all. Which actually scares the shit out of me.”

She stares up at me, the light hitting her tear-soaked cheeks. “If this is a game, I don’t want to play.”

“Not a game. I’ll prove it to you.”

I waste no time before kissing her hard.
