we did. We owe it to ourselves to be happy with each other. I think this moment has been long overdue.”
He placed his hands on her shoulders, looking into her eyes “I love you. I’ll never cheat on you or leave you. I can’t promise that I’ll never hurt your feelings or space out when I’m writing a book, but I can promise I will always do my best to make you happy. I’ll move Heaven and Earth, if that’s what it takes. All I want in return is the chance to prove it to you.”
Olivia melted against him. She noted that his eyes were glassy from tears he was holding back, and she kissed him. “I’ve waited almost a decade to hear you say that. We have a lot of lost time to make up for. I love you, too and I never want to lose you. You understand how terrified I am, right?”
“Of course I do. But I will do everything in my power to make you forget the fears you have. I’ll make you so happy, I swear. Just knowing you’ll be with me is enough for me. We know everything about each other. I love your OCD tendencies, the way your eyes sparkle, how your lip quivers when you’re up to no good and you love my weird, guy stuff. We’re a perfect fit. After ten years of friendship, I’d say we’ll make it through anything. We already share our lives with each other. The only difference is, now we can share everything. No more secrets.”
He kissed her, slowly at first and deepening with every heartbeat until she pulled back slightly. “Did you really mean you’d move Heaven and Earth for me?”
“You know it.”
She stepped back and took his hand, leading him to the large bathroom where she found a Jacuzzi tub just like the one that had been in her own suite. “Then, how about you rock my world again before we go home?”
“Home? Together?”
“For as long as you’ll have me, Matt. Will that make you happy?” She purred.
“Consider yourself mine forever, Liv.” He took her hands in his. “It’s time for both of us to be happy. In fact, I’d be the happiest man in the world if you’ll have me as your husband. I know I don’t have a ring to give you yet, but…”
Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes and spilled down her cheeks. She threw her arms around his neck, planting kisses all over his face, murmuring “Yes. Yes. Like you said, it’s been long overdue.”

“I don’t know, Lexi. That sort of thing doesn’t feel right to me.” Sydney Blake shook her head, knowing her best friend was only trying to help.
“ Look Syd, you need to loosen up and have a good time. Just take a break and get out of town for the weekend. That cheating bastard already took the last four years of your life and threw it away. Don’t give him another minute. You can’t just sit here moping for the rest of your life.” Alexandra Harvey and Sydney had been friends for fifteen years and in all of those years, she only wanted what was best for Sydney. Right now, a romp with a new guy was all she talked about.
“ Lexi, I’m still married.”
“ And? Roger broke those vows the moment he screwed Miss Nasty. Maybe you’re married on paper, but do you still feel like you’re in a real marriage? Are you saying you’d actually consider going back to that jerk?”
Would she? That seemed to be the million dollar question. Sure, Roger had called, begged and pleaded with her. He even cried. Cried! Should she take him back? Sydney had no idea. She never thought she would be in this position and there was no clear answer to her problem.
“Honestly, I don’t know. He says he is sorry. Maybe it was a one-time thing?” Sydney’s stomach tightened every time she thought of Roger and what he had done. She didn’t have to close her eyes to imagine the whole ordeal. She saw it twenty-four hours a day. Walking in on her husband while he screwed his accountant had been the worst day of her life.
