“So you don’t want this yet. Us. Time’s still not right?”
“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want us. It took my heart a while to convince my head this is where I’m supposed to be. A verse in the first song I wrote about you says everything. Your haunting dark eyes brought something to me; your beautiful smile blew me away. Your love shined through making me love you until my dying day.” He paused. “You’re my inspiration for all my love songs, by the way.”
Darla hitched another breath. “Pretty words, but you’re good with romantic expressions and you’re paid well to write them. How can I be sure you won’t go again?”
“I’ve never lied to you. I was always clear on where I stood.”
“Except you left some things out.”
“For your own good.” A corner of his lip rose. “I knew coming here I’d be in deep shit and I’d have a lot to make up for.” The familiar wicked twinkle gleamed in his eye. “And believe me I can’t wait to start doing just that.”
Thunder boomed overhead followed by a pop of lightning. Tiny drops pelted their skin.
Darla observed the angry sky before she turned back to him. “I suppose you’d like to come inside now so you can begin your make-up process?”
Eric leaned over to swipe his lips across hers. “You so get me, luv.”
