He pulled on her hands and wrapped them around his neck. “Kiss me.”
Madi lifted her lips to his and tried to remember everything about him as he kissed her goodbye.
“Three weeks,” he reminded her, his forehead pressed to hers.
“Three weeks,” she reminded herself. “I love you, Jake.”
“Look in my eyes. Do you know just how much you mean to me?”
As she stared into his deep blue eyes, she felt confidence build within her. Madi nodded and smiled.
“Love you, baby. I’ll call you when I land.”
“No matter what time, okay?”
“Okay.”
With another lingering kiss, he was gone.
Madi leaned her head on the window as she watched the plane dart above the clouds. The weekend had somehow managed to feel like months and a few hours at the same time. What would her life be like with Rob in tow? Somehow she couldn’t remember her life without Jake. How had he become the center of everything in her world? What would happen when it all came crashing down?
