Page 90 of Set the Moment
My heart skips a beat as we pause momentarily at the peak of the ride, the entire theme park surrounding us in glittering lights as sunset begins to fall.
A feeling of peace and happiness washes through me as I smile and say, “I love you, too!”
And then, we drop.

Today’sagoodfuckingday. Sienna Sola Jones loves me, the sky is an array of pink and orange as the sun sets, I spent the whole day with the woman that I’ve loved my entire life—Did I mention that Sienna loves me?
Great fucking day indeed.
When we finish up at Wishland, Sienna and I walk back to my car hand in hand, grinning like mad men.
This isourplace—Wishland. Me saying I love her may have been accidental in timing, but I meant every single word, and I’ll continue to scream it from the rooftops.
I love Sienna Jones, and Sienna Jones loves me.
I should get that tattooed on me.
Maybe I’m turning into Derek with all of these spontaneous tattoos, but who cares because Sienna Jones loves me!
“Your first game is coming up, right?” Sienna asks as we get settled in the car.The thought of our first game brightens my mood even more as the team that I’ve been a part of for the past three years, flashes at the back of my mind.
“Yep, are you coming?” I question as we pull on to the road, heading for the highway.
Sienna’s quiet for a second after my question. Does she not want to come to my game? Am I moving too fast? Before I can voice my concerns and outright ask her if she’s okay, she responds.
“Do you want me to go?” she sheepishly asks, tugging with the hem of her shirt, bringing a smile to my face.
I reach across the arm rest and squeeze her thigh softly. “Of course, I want you to be there.”
Sienna brightens at this and turns to me, even though I’m driving. “Then yeah, I’ll always be there for you.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” She nods, a note of finality in her words causing me to smile as she locks her pinky with the one that I have settled against her thigh.
Looks like that’s become our thing, too. We havethings!Can you believe that? I mean, I can…I manifested this relationship every day for years, but now that it’s forming, I’m happier than ever.
When I drop Sienna back off at her apartment, we sit in the car for a little longer than anyone would deem normal. Sienna is an angel incarnated as the lights of her building and the streetlights brighten her features in the car. She smiles at me, her smile brighter than the night sky.
My heart skips a beat at the sight of her. Her hazel eyes are a light brown, reminding me of warm toffee. I want to kiss her and set this moment in time between us. I mean we said weloveeach other not even eight hours ago.
My eyes must translate what I’m thinking because without a word, Sienna leans into me and kisses me softly. The kiss reminds me of a walk in the park, warm and full of happiness. I pull her in deeper, kissing her with intent, she groans softly before pulling away.
This girl is everything.
“I’ll see you later?” she asks, eyeing me up and down with a small smile as I kiss her one last time.
“I’ll see you later, angel.”
