I’ve got a hair stylist and makeup artist booked if you want to use them or you can play with all the makeup I know you packed because I could see my bathroom counter again after you left.
(I missed seeing your little potions and pallets all over though)
After hair and makeup you’ll get dressed in the outfit I sent to the room and a car will come to pick you up.
Your family pass and ticket will be in the box with the outfit.
After the game we’re headed out to dinner to ring in the new year together.
Okay, bossy.
I want everything to be perfect.
You’re not going to do something rash though right?
Like what? Propose?
Yes. Exactly that.
Nope, not a part of the gameplan for this one.
Phew.
But someday right?
Absolutely.
I can’t wait to see you.
Ditto babe.
Love you.
Too.

“What are you reading?” Emmett asks as he slides into the seat next to me. We’ve landed in Denver and are waiting on the bus until everything gets loaded up. Jo has been in Telluride with our families since Christmas and I can’t wait to see her. I have NYE planned to the final detail including this sexy as hell corset top I found online and bought for her.
“Once Upon a Tide.” I tell Emmett. When E.T. raises an eyebrow in response, I continue. “A lady pirate captain and a sheltered but sharp-witted prince accidentally activate this ancient medallion and it sends them bothback in time. They’re trapped 100 years in the past and have to figure out how to get back.”
“Interesting.” E.T. comments with a little head nod. He turns and puts his headphones over his ears so I get back to my story.
Only a few pages, and a near-miss kiss between the characters later Duncan taps my shoulder.
“Boder, psst.”
“Yeah Dunc?”
“Wanna play cards in my room when we get to the hotel?”
“Sure.” I give him a thumbs up over my shoulder.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I open it up to see pictures from Jo loading into our shared album. I sink further into my seat and thumb through the photos.
Jo looking cozy as fuck in a sweater and fuzzy socks by the fireplace.
Jo making cookies with her niece.
