Melissa’s Reviews > I Flipping Love You > Status Update

Pierce- I kiss her through her laughter.
She tastes like love. She feels like my future. Rian is the beginning and the end. She’s the fight I won’t give up. She’s the forever I won’t let go.

“I was banking on a yes. I mean, we’ve been living in sin for a year already, and we co-own a business together. I know chemistry is a big deal, but with the whole two of ten on the compatibility scale, I was a bit worried, yeah.”
She laughs. “God, I love you.”

❤️❤️

I quickly tear open the bag, then slip my hand inside my pocket & find what I’m looking for. I manage to get it into the box of cereal & withdraw a handful of the sugary, cinnamon squares when Rian comes around the corner…
Her brows knit together & her perfect, pouty lips turn down when I stuff the handful of cereal into my mouth. “What’re you doing?” she asks, incredulous.
“I got hungry.”

Ring in box?

Pierce- The past year has been incredible, and I’m hoping to make the rest of the ones ahead of us just as amazing.

Definitely proposing 💍

Rian- That’s a lot of money to spend on my dream.
Pierce- Well, it can be our dream now, can’t it?

Is he proposing?

Bought mansion

“So I did something today, and I need you to hear me out before you get mad at me.”

Pierce to Rian
This doesn’t seem like a good start to a conversation.

Disappointment settles under my skin and irritates like an unscratchable itch.

Great line

Pierce’s hands rest gently on my shoulders, and he dips down to press a soft kiss against the side of my neck. “I could buy it.”
I drop my head and exhale a breath. It would be too easy to say yes. “I can’t ask you to do that.”
“You’re not asking.” He looks so earnest in his offer.

Talking about the Mission Mansion

It’s almost exactly as I remember it, but everything is dated and worn. Even the furniture is mostly the same—a shrine to a lost life. In the interest of selling quickly, my father had opted not to hold a contents estate sale. He sold the Mansion and everything in it. Once the money was transferred into his offshore account, he and my mother disappeared.
