until I sat up again and looked him in
the eye. "You're not only fae -bulous, you're fae -nny, fae -thful, and one fae -xy chick. Most of all, though,
you're fae -miliar to me now. So fae -miliar, that I've
been lost ever since you got out of my Fae -rd yesterday."
    What a doofus. My smile spread so wide it hurt. "Really and
truly?"
    "Really and truly." Nate reached out, firmly pulling me up
and then guiding me onto his lap. "Remember that couple we were
talking about yesterday? The one where the man and woman stick it
out instead of bailing at the first sign of trouble?"
    "I remember."
    "I want to be that guy."
    I could barely breathe. "What are you saying?"
    "I'm saying I love you."
    I gasped.
    Nate's arms tightened around me as if he thought I might
bolt. "I know it's too soon--"
    I stopped him right there, standing so I could turn and
straddle his thighs, a bold move that clearly surprised him, at least
for a nanosecond. Then he grinned that sexy grin and wrapped his
arms around me.
    Framing his face with my hands, I said, "Too soon? Nate
Marshal, I've only loved you since I was fifteen."
    "What?"
    "Oh yeah. You're my wildest dream, my ultimate fantasy, the one . And I want to be the girl who sticks it out with you."
Of course we kissed. And that one kiss became a lot of them, each
better than the one before it until we both had to come up for
air.
    All smiles, Nate tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear to
get it out of my flushed face. "You know what this means, don't
you?"
    "That I should've bought you a Christmas present?"
    He cracked up. "No, sil-ly. It means we're perfect for each
other."
    "As in fae -ted?" I touched his cheek.
    "Yeah." He caught my hand and kissed my palm. "For always
and always, happily ever after."
