I flipped through pages as emotions swirled inside me. “Lukas, this is… perfect.”
He smiled and rubbed a hand across my back before draping his arm on the back of my chair. “I have mock-ups to build a community center and a village for people without a roof over their head. Somewhere they can sleep and feel safe and get warm. It’s only the beginning stages and I didn’t want to dive too deep into it without bringing you onto the project with me.”
“Really?”
“Really. This is ours, Kayla. It’s always been ours.”
A tear slipped free and I wiped it away. “I love you so much.”
He kissed me deeply. “I love you too.”
Somehow, Lukas had made me even happier than I’d been just minutes before. That was what he did. He upped his game every day and I knew I had a bright future ahead of me with a man like him by my side.
Great things were in store for us and the people of Seattle.
And for the baby in my belly.
I put a hand on my stomach and Lukas put his hand over mine. We shared a secret smile before someone tapped the side of their glass with a knife and bellowed for a kiss.
Naturally, we indulged them, and the room echoed with cheers as I smiled against Lukas’ lips. It was the best kiss of my life, second only to the one that would come later in a storage closet where the soup kitchen kept extra chairs and linens. And that one would be defeated by the kiss we shared in our hotel room later that night as Lukas stripped me out of my dress.
That was how it was with him. Everything just kept getting better.
