She cups my face, rests her forehead on mine. “I love you so much.”
You have no idea, Laney. “I love you, too.”
“It’s so beautiful out here,” she says, and she has no idea that she’s the beauty out here.
I rear back, kiss her hands. “I don’t want to miss out on my brothers growing up, or my dad getting old, or Cameron and Lucy getting… whatever they’re getting. My mom and dad envisioned the same thing—having us grow up close to each other. That’s why they purchased such large land.”
“It’s perfect,” she says, looking around us.
“The house is small, but we can always extend. I think it’s a good place to start,” I tell her. “Get married one day.” I smile when she does. “Maybe have a kid or eight.”
“Eight?” She laughs.
“You know I’m competitive.”
“Oh God,” she says, her smile wide when she looks out at the lake. Her hands shake as she covers her mouth. “I can’t believe this.”
I pick her up, settle her on my lap, absentmindedly massage her knee. Her arms wrap around my neck, her head resting on my shoulder. “So what do you think, Lois Lane?” I ask. “You picture yourself living here with me, growing up and growing old? Loving each other right?” I kiss her temple. “It may not be the stuff dreams are made of. It’s a simple life… but a good life.”
“No, Lucas,” she says. “It’s a great life.”
