Loved it!

Not every romance felt as explosive and all-consuming as the one I had with Finn did. In fact, I’d bet that most stable relationships felt the opposite: warm instead of hot, comfortable instead of unpredictable, safe instead of adventurous.

I feel like I’m missing something, like I’ve got the whole puzzle put together but there are two pieces I can’t find to finish it.

Two missing pieces
Finn & Ember

Ember sees Finn’s tattoo

“How about Firefly?”
I turn, curious, one hand still gripping the strap of my bag. “Firefly?”
“It suits you better,” he says, that magnetic smile softening. “You light up the room. Can’t help but follow the glow.”

Finn to Ember
First meeting
Gives her a nickname

“I’ve kissed a few boys, cuddled after a crew night out, maybe, but… never anything serious.” I shrugged. “I think my heart still belongs to a chef on a boat in Greece.”

Ember to Finn

Staring at this man in the galley now, I wondered if it had been his fears ruling him that night, too. I wondered if love, or lack thereof, wasn’t to blame.
Love never stood a chance against bad timing and two scared kids trying to figure out who they were.

Ember about Finn

“Maybe it helps with the whole toy situation. I can’t imagine anything that big coming near my ass, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.”
“What exactly is the appropriate size for things coming near your ass?” Finn asked with a smirk. “Just so I can pocket that information away.”
“That’s for me to know and you to lie awake at night dreaming of.”
“I’ll never sleep again.”

Banter!
Finn & Ember
I love the banter between these two!

“Did you want the food to actually look like something? Or should I have just slapped it on the plate and called it rustic?”
“I wanted it to be on the table before they started drafting their wills, Finn.”

I love these two!
Great banter
