“I nod. “Thanks. Molly was definitely right about one thing, you know.”
A grin inches across his face. “That I’m gorgeous?”
Yes, I think.
“No,” I say. “I meant that you’re a really nice guy, but now it looks like you’re developing this huge ego problem . . .” I swat at him playfully and he catches my hand.
“One more thing. When Deo is back safe and sound . . .” He stops and his shoulders slump.
“What?”
“Well . . . I was about to ask if you’d want to go to a movie or get dinner. But we’d probably have to worry about you picking up a ghost or me realizing the guy at the next table is about to punch his waiter. Maybe we could just watch Netflix and . . .” He stops again and closes his eyes. “I truly suck at this. I was not going to say chill, I swear to God. I was going to say watch Netflix and order takeout.”
I lean forward and kiss him. It’s a quick kiss, just a featherlight brush of my lips against his.
He looks surprised. I probably do too, because that wasn’t at all planned. It just seemed right.
“I’d like that, Aaron. When all of this is over, I think I’d like that a lot.”
