And I love you."

"Remember the night we sat here, and I fed you all the clues the future Em had given me to convince you I was legit? The bluegrass, the belly ring-"

"The designated hitter?"

"Yes." He grinned.

"Hmph."

"What else did I tell you?"

"That you had a teddy bear named Rupert."

He rolled his eyes. "About you, and the first time I saw you."

Answering made me feel shy, but I did it anyway.
"That I said I would take your breath away the first time you saw me." I was still holding his face, and he reached up to put his hands over mine.

"You did it then. And you just did it again." His kiss was sweet, soft, and easy at first. I felt urgency stir just under the surface, but I refused to let the desire to hurry things interfere in the moment. I wanted to savor every single one.
We had all the time in the world.

My brother's voice floated down from the open window. "Emerson!"

Well, as son as my grounding was over, we had all the time in the world.
