“I love you, Rainbow,” I whisper in her ear.
She leans back, a huge smile on her face. “Thank you, thank you, for bringing me my favorite people.”
I kiss her as Benji hoots. “Keep it clean or I’ll have to cover Spike’s eyes.”
I huff out a laugh and let her go as Lila and Colette huddle around her and they all squeal.
Later, after we’ve settled at the table, Lila pushes a gift into her hands. “I insist you open mine first.”
Sitting next to me, Anastasia opens it, blinks, then laughs at the bound notebook she pulls out. She looks up at her. “Legally Lavender? You finished it?”

“You did think of the library. That was fun, posing for selfies at the table where we met. We got some looks.”
I chuckle. “If they only knew the story…”
We wait until the lobby is clear, then step inside the empty elevator. I stand on one side while she stands on the other. She slaps the button for the sixth floor. We pretend to ignore each other, then I turn to her and give her a once-over. She smirks.
I back her against the wall, shove my hands into her hair, and kiss her long and slow.
“You’re my air, baby girl,” I whisper. “I’m gonna love you forever.”
Her eyes hold mine. “Forever.”
When the doors open on the sixth floor, she’s still in my arms…
