He carried it over to her on the loveseat. Her breath caught. "Boone." Her eyes misted. "How did you…" She sighed. "No. I don't need to know." He sat next to her holding the cake and a fork. "I'd sing, but it'd probably spoil the moment." His eyes gleamed a soft blue in the candlelight. Another chunk of her heart broke off and became his property. "Thank you." "For not singing?" He grinned. "Make a wish and blow it out." She closed her eyes, listing all the things she would have wished for before she met Boone, but trashing them all for the one thing she wanted right now. More time with him. She blew out the candle. He plucked it out of the cake, scraped it across the frosting, and held it out toward her. "Lick it, baby." She shook her head but smiled. "You're so bad." She wrapped her lips around it and sucked. "Yeah. That's the way." He laughed. "For some reason, I seem to have a tent in my robe." "We'll take care of that. After cake." "Promise?" He forked a piece and held it out to her.
