Don’t Forget to Remember Me (54 page)

Her fingers fisted into my hair and she
pulled back to look into my face. She smiled softly. “I know.”

I would never get used to the effect she had
on me and my throat tightened and I brushed her hair off her
face.

“Thank you for getting this suite. Thank you
for being mine.”

The smile went away and she nodded slowly.
“You’re all I want.”

I swallowed and lifted the corner of my
mouth. It was my turn to smile in the wonder of it. “Sweetheart,
your pill cycle is up at the end of the week, isn’t it?”

She nuzzled into the side of my face with
her nose. “Yes. Don’t worry. No period this weekend.”

I chuckled softly. “That’s good. I mean…
wouldn’t stop me. I miss you too much.”

“Me, too.”

“Julia. Look at me.” I pulled her hand to my
mouth and kissed the inside of her wrist as her eyes met mine. I
could see the love behind the green depths and it never ceased to
amaze me. “I think it’s time.”

She didn’t ask for me to elaborate. She
knew. “Are you sure? You’re working so much and I’m not sure if I
want to go through that without you around.”

“You always could read my mind.”

“No.” I shook my head with a smile. “I can
read your heart.”
