She squinted to ensure he was telling her the whole truth. “I mean it. Please tell me if this feels weird to you.” He laughed. “Weird?” He squeezed around her waist and kissed her soundly on the lips. “This is beyond weird, baby. It’s like a dream and I’m gonna wake up and find out I fell asleep waiting for you to arrive and you’ll be at the door—alone—when I hear the knock.” She grimaced. “But,” he continued, putting a finger over her lips, “it’s right. I know it is. Not quite what I expected or ever planned, but it’s what Fate has for us. I can feel it. Strange will be my new middle name for a while, but we’re in this together and we’ll figure it out. What about you? Are you good?” She nodded, cocking her head to one side and biting her lower lip. A flush heated her face. “Beyond good. But I feel a bit embarrassed to admit that.” “Don’t.” He pressed a finger to her nose. “I get the best end of this stick. Two men just rocked my world and set it on fire.”
