“I love you, too,” she sniffled.

“We’ll take things slow on our new journey. Stop telling people you’re going on vacation. Believe in us, Kara. We need to fight to stay together. I understand we’re different.”

She pulled her head off my chest and her big brown eyes met mine. “Yes, I’m from a small town and you’re from a big city. The only thing we have in common is our love of the great outdoors.”

My thumb stroked her cheek. “Kara, we’ll create a list of everything we love and hate, then compare. Even things we like and don’t like about each other. Like your snoring, for instance.” I quirked a brow.

“And your snoring,” she grimaced.

“I don’t snore.”

“You do. The women you’ve slept with probably didn’t care to tell you. It was only play time for them.”

I slipped her coat over her shoulders. “You’re probably right.”

“No, I should go.” Her coat rested at the bend of her arms.

“Why?” My lips brushed against hers.

“I, uh, don’t know.” Her palms pressed against my chest.

“You should probably enjoy this time sleeping alone before I move in.”

“So, you don’t want to watch my head disappear between your legs?”

Her eyes slammed shut, and she visibly swallowed. “Of course, I do.” Her lips twisted.

“I’ll be the strong one tonight. I’ll order dinner and we’ll watch a TV show fully clothed. We’re leaving soon, Collin. I can…wait for you to touch me again.”

I threw my head back and laughed. “You’re lying.”

“Trying to take one for the team.”

“No need. You’re staying. I’ll watch you come again and again.”

I raised my hand, wiggling my fingers. “With only these.”

She smiled and pecked my lips. “Ok.”

**P**

The remainder of my vacation was filled with snowmobiling, zip lining, and more ice fishing. Yup, it was official I’d miss my girlfriend’s little town.

High above the clouds, I enjoyed the view of the clear blue sky.

Kara clutched my hand for dear life. My fingers turned red and purple.

“Sweetheart, try to relax.”

“I can’t.” She stared at the blank TV screen.

“The flight attendant will bring a glass of water and the sedative in just a moment. I’ll play a movie for you.”

“Why did I let you talk me into this?” she scowled.

“Because you love me.” My lips fell upon her temple.

“If I didn’t…”
