“It will.” He kissed her again and a happy sigh escaped her lips when it hit her she was going to get to kiss this man for the rest of her life. “But most importantly,

I love you,
he wrote and then he stuck it to the front of her shirt.
“So you won’t ever doubt it,” he said in a husky voice.
“Let’s go inside and get started on this for real thing we having going on.” She took his hand and tugged him toward the door. “And, because I love you, I’ll start by stripping you out of that pink shirt.”
