Chapter 85 Chapter fourty seven

　　“Why couldn’t it be?”

　　She smiled wryly. “Because nothing like this has ever happened to me before.”

　　He understood what she was saying, and he couldn’t help but respond to it. He pulled her into a warm hug. “It’s happened to me before, but this is still entirely new, still entirely terrifying sometimes. It’s not really about experience. It’s always about trust.” He cleared his throat and decided to risk it. “And I love you, Efua Adams You can trust me in that.”

　　Her features tightened briefly before they burst into a smile. “Really?”

　　“Yeah.”

　　She took a raspy breath. “Well,that’s a relief. Because I love you too.”

　　Then they were kissing again, and it was only after they pulled apart that Jason started to hope that Efua’s sister and grandmother weren’t peeking out at them through the window.

　　“I guess that’s not the normal thing to happen on the first date,” Efua said, giggling helplessly, like she was too happy to possibly contain it.
