Chapter 23

I noticed the quiet in the lobby and realized that everyone, from cops to criminals to people off the street were watching our drama.

I didn’t need things to be this public, but here we were. “Apology accepted. But where do we go from here? I can’t…I want everything with you. I want to build a life together, live together. Can you see yourself doing that?”

“I want to try, if you would be willing to work with me, be patient while I figure out how to do this. I want you in my life, Fitz. I’ve been miserable without you.”

“So have we!” someone shouted, and I recognized Janet’s voice. Lord.

The fact that Simms was spilling his guts in front of everyone, I…Well, I had been miserable, too. Perhaps a little faith and flexibility was a good thing.

“Okay.” The entire lobby cheered and Simms kissed me, barely keeping it chaste, though someone asked for some tongue. Perverts.

I laughed against his mouth and hugged him tight, loving the way we fit together. Maybe even better this time.
