I laugh at Kimiko’s comment. Once she gets off, I shift to do the same but have to stop to catch Kimiko so she doesn’t fall over the bike. One arm is around her waist, and the other I set on her arm. [color=#B0C4DE]”You okay?”[/color] I asked, not helping the grin on my face.

I remove my arms from around their waist to cup Nero’s face in mine. [color=#006400]”Even if you never decide, I want to spend as much of my life with you as you’ll let me,”[/color] I say and kiss Nero. I pull back and rest my forehead on theirs. [color=#006400]”If you bring me your collection, you might lose me to it for a few days,”[/color] I tell Nero honestly.

I watched Nic for a moment, my heart soaring more from this simple gesture. I don’t understand how he understood me, but he just did. I’m smiling ear to ear while I gather up some sand, seeds, and pressed flowers directly from India.
