“I was waiting for the sun to chase me,” he breathes, drawing me to his chest. In one swift movement, my lips are on his. The world is spinning. He kisses me like this is the moment he’s envisioned all his life. Like this is heaven on Earth.

I smile, my lips tingling. “Guess what?”
“What?”
“I love you more than chocolate cake.”
