“What do you think she would have said, seeing that you got on the TV show?”
I pulled in a breath. “She’d say you fucking did it, kiddo,” I said.
I swore my heart could burst. I didn’t know how something could feel so beautiful, even through the pain we’d both had in our lives.
But it was beautiful.
Nothing would ever be perfect, and I knew life would never be without pain. But with each other, it would be a good fucking ride.
I knew I was leading with love. Just like Gram always wanted me to. And even though it was way too early to say it, I knew I could see myself falling deeper and deeper in love with Rowen every day. I could see myself continuing that forever, as far as I was concerned. Nothing was guaranteed, but I knew that I had something real with him.
Something I wasn’t going to turn away from.
“You want to know something else Gram always used to say?” I asked Rowen.
“What?”
“When you know, you know.”
He let his gaze linger on mine, and I was pretty sure we were thinking the exact same thing.
We both knew.
Knew that this was only the beginning of our love, and that it was magic.
“I’m falling in love with you,” I said simply, feeling his hand tighten a little on my waist.
He swallowed, nodding slowly as he watched me. “I’ve been falling in love with you, too, Shane.”
I exhaled, listening to the perfect sounds of laughter and music all around us in the bar.
“Fuck, I’m so lucky,” I said.
“I’m the lucky one. Now I’m going to drag you out onto that dance floor, whether you like it or not,” he said. “Because if I keep looking in your eyes here I’m going to start crying, too, and nobody needs that.”
I puffed out a laugh. “You are my favorite. Hell yes. Let’s go.”
He dragged me out onto the little dance floor and we got lost in the music. I danced knowing that this was the start of something beautiful. Something I never thought I’d have.
The magic had been right there.
And I was going all in with Rowen—leading with love, with a full, fierce heart.
Because he was so fucking worth it, and… yeah, maybe I could admit that I was, too.
Yee-haw.
