“Let’s see.” She stretches out her hand and holds up a finger for each item as she starts to make one of her lists. “One, we got you healthy. Two, we earned our degrees. Three, we worked our butts off to save up for this place. Four, we opened up the coolest tattoo shop in Philly. Five, we continue to be insanely in love with one another.”

“Don’t forget that we tattooed ourselves on each other.” I smirk down at her as she grins up at me.

“Is that weird?”

I shrug. “Who cares? I love being weird with you.”

Holly sticks her tongue out at me, and I follow it to her mouth, giving her a scathing kiss. When we surface, she’s wearing a triumphant smile, probably because she knows I can’t resist her. As she stares up at me, her shining eyes turn just a shade serious.

“Look at us, living our dreams,” she whispers, as if someone might try to snatch them away if she talks too loud. “Anything else you want to add to the list?”

Suddenly craving the warmth of her body, I pull her fully into my embrace. As I cup the back of her head in my palm, her lips part slightly in anticipation of the kiss she knows is about to come.

“Anything else?” Our breaths mingle as I lean in close. “No. All I want is more of you.”
