Page 88 of Mated To My Boss

“You can tell me anything.”

“I've already started working on a transfer. I'm going to law school close by.”

My eyebrows climb high. “What?” I ask. “Are you serious?”

“Yes,” she giggles. “You're not the only one who can't stay away.”

“Are you sure about this? I don't want you to leave everything behind for me.”

“Have you forgotten that my plan was to make you fall for me? I've always wanted you and now I have you. I'm also not leaving anything behind. Do you think Aunt Cora would ever let me drop out of school for a man?”

“No,” I laugh. I reach for her hand across the table and she gives it to me. “I just want you to be sure.”

“I've never been more sure about anything in my life.”

“I don't want you to make your whole life about me.”

“You are my life, Nate.”

I give her hands a gentle squeeze. “You're mine too. There's one last thing I have to ask you. Madeline, move in with me?”

“Yes!” she squeals, drawing numerous eyes to our table. Neither of us care, though. I get up and move over to her side, sealing our new arrangement with a kiss. “I love you so much, Nate.”

“I love you more,” I reply.

“I loved you first,” she counters.

As I look into the eyes of the woman I love more than anything else, I realize just how lucky I am to live in this moment.

It may be too soon, but having the number of Graham's ring guy wouldn't hurt.

THE END
