Thrill Me (Fool's Gold #18)(92)

She stared at him. A single tear slipped down her cheek. He brushed it away.

“I love you,” he repeated.

“You really didn’t watch the end of the video?” she asked.

“No. What does that have to do with anything?”

She smiled, then sniffed, then raised herself on tiptoe and pressed her lips to his.

“I love you, Del. I’ve loved you for the past ten years. Maybe all my life.”

The tightness in his chest eased as he pulled her close. “Yeah?”

She laughed. “Yes. I want all that, too. Us working together and having Fool’s Gold as the place we always come back to.”

“You’re going to marry me?”

She looked up at him. “I’m going to marry you.”

“I love it when a plan comes together,” he said right before he kissed her.

Later, after they’d made love, they went back to his place. Together, curled up on his sofa, they watched the last video together. Del held her close as he listened to her tell him she loved him.

“You’re pretty good on camera,” he told her.

She snuggled against him. “Only with you. On my own, I’m a disaster.”

“Me, too.”

“Then it’s good we’re a team.”

“You know it.”
