“It sounds like heaven.”
His chest overflowing with emotion, Daniel reached over and squeezed her thigh, then shifted gears. “Where to, princess?”
“I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.”
“You regret it?” He baited her with a smirk. But no. He couldn’t miss the excitement in her voice. The excitement whirling inside his car. In his heart.
“I’m excited, Lexington. Very excited.”
“Yours or mine, princess?”
She took a quick breath that shook with emotion, then she laughed and sat up on the seat to quickly grab his head and kiss his temple, his jaw. “Yours. Yours.” She settled down so he didn’t get distracted from the road, he supposed, and quickly put her hand over his on the gear shift. She lightly squeezed, and this time, she never let go. “Yours.”
Epilogue
One month later, an excerpt from the Chicago Gazette social section:
It’s Official!
Well, ladies and gentlemen, for all those of you single out there, it’s official. Monica Davenport and Daniel Lexington are an item. MoDa, as they’re now being called, have been spotted everywhere around town, in events, snuggling, holding hands, and as you can see in the picture below, publicly kissing! If we failed to see a fair amount of PDA from Miss Davenport before, it seems there’s now PDA going aplenty between the good-looking pair. And now there’s speculation on whether or not our beloved MoDa might be soon tying the knot. Miss Davenport has been wearing something that looks like a very elegant Asscher cut diamond engagement ring, and she’s been spotted visiting the most prestigious museums for what we speculate might be the perfect setting for the grand event. Stay tuned!
