“You’re not asking me just because you don’t feel like explaining what happened, are you?”
She laughed. “And if I were?”
He smiled. “You know I’d do it.”
“I’d love the help, but that’s not why I asked. I want them to meet you. I want them to see why I’ve fallen in love.” She unbuckled her seat belt and slid closer to Matt. “If I’m going to stay in Keene’s Harbor and put down some roots, this is where I want to start.” She leaned in until her lips met Matt’s. “Right here.”
And this time the kiss was perfect.
