    “Earlier?”
    “Yeah. He, um, hates it when people argue. I’ll have to beg his forgiveness with treats later on.” I smoothed Darren’s hair. “For now, though, I could go for a shower. You?”
    “Yeah, me too.” He lifted his head off the pillow as he reached for me, and just before he kissed me, added, “In a minute.”

    I couldn’t see myself anywhere but with Darren.
    Because this was where I belonged.
