The double entendre wasn't lost on me.
"What, and leave all this behind?" I made a sweeping gesture with my arm, motioning to the magical hot spot historic town I had been assigned.
"Morgan, I—."
I turned to face him, fisted my hands in his shirt, and stood on tiptoe to close the few inches between us, and rendered him speechless with a kiss. His arms enveloped me, pulling me tight when I deepened the kiss, hinting at possibilities to come.
Possibilities I wouldn't have thought I would be open to when I started my shift hours earlier.
"I know, Griffin. How about you start by buying me that drink?"
Griffin walked back into my life the same way he walked out--without warning. He had a habit of blindsiding me and this was no exception.
But Griffin wasn't the same warlock I fell in love with twelve months ago.
He was better. Every step of his journey led him back to me. I envisioned this moment a million times and it always ended the same. With me turning Griffin away.
His fate was in my hands, our fate was in my hands, and realizing I didn't want to throw it away surprised me. He’d asked for a second chance and I wanted to give it to him. It wasn't going to be easy. We had challenges, both old and new, ahead of us, but we would face them together.
A witch and a warlock walked into a bar...
The End
