“He was my home...and I missed him terribly.”

“Grinning at me, Kellan leaned down to kiss my cheek. “Thanks,” he muttered in my ear as he stole my beer from my fingers.I glared at him as I watched him tip it back. “Just so you know, I totally backwashed.”Kellan paused mid-gulp, then shrugged. Smiling wide once he was finished, he husked, “That’s all right…I like your fluids.”

“He was my comfort. He was my solace. Nearly everything I had faced in my young life, I had gotten through because of him, because he was always there for me, with soft words and a tender heart.-Kiera Allen”

“Between pants, I continued spewing how much I hated him. Around my lips, he kept telling me I didn't.”

“God, I missed you. I missed that.” “Missed what?” “You…your humor, your smile, your touch, your…everything.”

“Still looking at me, Kellan lifted the microphone to his mouth. “I’d like to formally introduce you to this beautiful girl at my side, Miss Kiera Michelle Allen.” He turned back to the DJs. “My wife.”

“I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. “You’re impossible.” “True, but you like me anyway.” He pulled me tighter.”
