“Good. I don’t want to. I want this, Toby. I want you. I know it’s crazy, and fucked up, but I kinda think that’s part of our charm.”

A wide smile splits my face. “I totally agree.”

Taking the necklace from her, I place it around her neck before attaching the chain to the padlock and securing it in place.

“Too late to go back now,” I tease.

“For better or worse.”

“Careful, or you’ll have me thinking you were expecting a ring in there.”

She smiles softly at me, making me think that she wouldn’t have been as freaked out as she probably should have been if there was an engagement ring in one of those boxes.

“We’ve got all the time in the world for that. But as for right now… I believe you’ve got some promises to uphold, Tobias.”

Snatching the box from her hand, I throw it behind us and it hits the wall at exactly the same time my lips collide with hers.

“I love coming good on promises,” I murmur into her kiss.

“You just love coming.”

“Nah, baby. I love watching you come.”
