She opened the door. For a moment, she thought her heart stopped. He was dressed in a dark grey suit that intensified the color of his eyes. One hand was tucked behind his back.
She stepped back. “Would you like to come in?”
“Only to put these,” he said as he pulled a bouquet of roses from behind his back, “in a vase.”

He stood in front of her and gently tucked a wayward curl behind her ear. “I seemed to notice your penchant for lilac-colored lingerie. You wore it the first night we spent together and then again when we were at Willowton.”
She could feel the heat flood her face. “Oh…”
He kissed her forehead and offered her his arm. “Shall we
start our new adventure?”
She smiled
