16 Chapter 16

I lay my hand on top of Mari’s and give it a little squeeze before turning my attention back to Chinese take-out. This was good. This was enough. Me and Mari, and four cartons of Chinese food here in her beautifully restored vintage dining room.

Out of the corner of my eye I swear I see the corners of her mouth turning up.

When we finish, I help Mari collect the dishes and put away the leftovers. “Nice countertops,” I say looking around the little eat-in kitchen.

“Fits the style of the house,” she says. She’s fighting back a grin and not doing a very good job of it.

“I’ve heard,” I whisper in her ear before planting a kiss on her neck in the place that I know makes her knees turn to jelly. I back myself up to the counter and pull her with me, secretly hoping that she’ll toss me up there and hike up my dress to christen the new countertops.

“Dinner first. Then a tour,” she manages to croak out.
