"Of course they would. Maybe it could even be a whole series."
"Is there really that much to say?"
"About you? Absolutely." I placed the notebook in his lap. "It's barely anything yet. But I think it could be something great. I've been trying to find my thing after graduating. And really, James, all I've ever been passionate about is you. I want to write this book. And raise this baby. And be the best wife I can possibly be to you."
"If that's what's going to make you happy."
"Nothing would make me happier. I don't ever want to go a day apart from you. And I don't want the memory of you to ever completely fade. This will make that possible." I tapped the top of the notebook.
"Can I read what you have?"
"Yeah, well, it's super rough. It's mostly just notes. All I know is that it's going to start at the coffee shop. Where our lives both changed forever. When I finally learned what living truly was." I smiled. "When I decided to break all the rules and fall head over heels for my professor."
He put his hand on the side of my face. "The best day of my life. God, I love you, Penny."
"I love you with everything that I am, Professor Hunter."
He smiled as he wiped away my tears with his thumbs. There was suddenly a hunger in his eyes that hadn't been there before. It reminded me of when I was his student and he was my professor. I had sometimes thought he was the hunter and I was the prey. That the whole thing was a game. But despite what he thought, I never saved his life. He saved mine.
We never were able to agree on who tempted who. But there was truth in both our stories, and together, it came down to two things. Two unmistakable truths that led us to this moment. This perfect moment. I looked up into his eyes. I was the hunted. But I had willingly let him hunt me.

James and Penny have a few months until their baby is due. And James is determined not to waste any time while it's still just the two of them.
