Heartbreaker(70)

“Well, Chester and I will miss you around the place,” Sawyer says.

“You’ll keep an eye on Edith?” I check. “She’s getting older now, and with her back—”

“Don’t worry,” he reassures me. “I couldn’t stay away from that place if I tried. She’s got me scheduled to give all the dogs their booster shots. Last I heard, she was drawing up a list of blind dates, too.”

I laugh. “Sounds like her. Watch out though. She has interesting ideas about what makes people compatible.”

“I’ll consider myself warned.”

Finn joins us, and Sawyer holds up his hands in mock surrender. “We were just talking,” he grins, and Finn laughs.

“Hey man, I’m sorry about before. I can be pretty possessive when it comes to this one.”

“No hard feelings.” Sawyer shakes his hand. “I hope you guys will be happy in New York.”

“What do you think?” Finn looks down at me.

I smile, full of love and possibility. “I think we’re going to find out.”

I hold him tight, thankful that the years and distance only brought us closer together again.

Our adventure is just beginning.
