Bee: Jeez, Rhys lol I didn’t need to know that

Bee: I am a fan of cuddling, though

Bee: Especially with a big boy

Rhys: He’s enormous

Bee: RHYS!

Rhys: I couldn’t help myself

Bee: Will you see him again?

Rhys: We exchanged numbers…

Rhys: But I don’t think so

Rhys: You know I don’t date

Bee: Babe, come on

Bee: Give him a chance

“Is everything alright, Vindur?” Kjartan put the box down by the bookshelf, sat down, and invited me into his arms.

“Yes, my love.” I kissed his cheek, snuggling into his side.

Yep, cuddling is the best.

“Sorry, I’ll help you with the boxes in a minute.”

“Don’t worry about it. You had an exciting day and made that lovely dinner for us. I don’t mind carrying a bit of our things inside.”

“Rhys met a guy at the trade fair up in Inverness. They knew each other from a wedding they’d both worked on, and I know he’s had a crush on the man since then.”

“Did it not go well when they saw each other again?” he asked, rubbing my upper arm.

How does he always know when I’m upset?

“I think it went quite well, but Rhys… you’ve met him, he’s—”

“Lonely,” Kjartan finished my sentence.

“Yes, and he is such a good person. He deserves happiness, and it makes me sad that he doesn’t believe that.”

“I didn’t believe it until I met you. Maybe it’s the same for him.”

Help, I’m melting!

“I hope so,” I said, scrambling to straddle my man’s lap and kiss him. “Gods, I love doing life with you.”

“So do I. You are mine, Vindur.”

“Yeah.” I nibbled on his bottom lip. “I’m yours.”

We fooled around on the couch for a while before we emptied the truck together and unpacked the boxes.Just one more trip left.

I still couldn’t believe that I got to share this beautiful house with my hunk in the Highlands. Waking up next to him was the best thing in the world. And then there would be Breeze & Beans. The cafe I would manage in the space I had discovered all those months ago.
