“My man with a plan.”
He grinned.
She leaned in and kissed it.
When she pulled back, she cupped his face with her hand and stroked his cheek with her thumb.
“You sure you’re okay after Yvonne came callin’?”
“Old Yvonne would have pounded on the door again after I closed it in her face. Maybe she heard me this time.”
“Maybe.” She didn’t sound sure.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“It does if it upsets you,” Shirleen disagreed. “It does if it upsets Judith.”
“Judith gets upset because I get upset. If I don’t get upset, which,” he gave her a squeeze, “baby, I got no reason to be upset. Then like I said. It doesn’t matter.”
He wrapped his other arm around her and pulled her full on his body.
“She’s the past,” he whispered. “I got my future in my arms and that’s my sole focus. Yeah?”
“Yeah,” she whispered in return.
“Love you, Shirleen Jackson.”
He’d never said the words.
That was why her tawny eyes fired and stayed warm as she melted into him.
“Love you too, Moses Richardson.”
He slid a hand to the base of her neck and pulled her to him.
And Moses embraced his future.
His future embraced him back.
