Chapter 84

And of course he spotted what I’d had engraved on the dog tag.

Suddenly nervous, I went to the dresser, picked up a comb, and ran it through my hair, watching him through the mirror.

“It’s beautiful.” He traced the words on the tag, rubbed the braided leather of the lanyard between his thumb and forefinger, and then looked up at me. “Yeah?”

“Face it, Mark.” I swallowed. “I love you, you love me—”

“Just don’t start singing that purple dinosaur song.”

I laughed and went to him.

“We’re together forever, Quinn. Remember?” In spite of the crutch under his arm, he gripped my waist with his left hand.

“Yes. Forever.” I didn’t wait until he pulled me to him, just took that step toward him myself.

He brushed his lips over mine, then leaned his forehead on my shoulder. I wasn’t sure I was supposed to hear his next words.

“God, I really lucked out when I ran into you at that warehouse.”

If it came to that... we both had.
