Chapter 16

In the future, when it was time to buy a house, I definitely wanted a fireplace. A crackling fire would make even a harsh Minnesota winter bearable. I could easily picture myself with a cup of hot chocolate and a book on the floor in front of the fire. Maybe some music in the background. And someone to cuddle up next to. Preferably Levi. Yes, a fireplace was definitely a priority.

My phone buzzed again, and I unraveled from the quilt and grabbed it. A smile split my face in two when I saw the name on the screen.

Levi.

I tapped the notification and read his two messages.

Blinked.

Read them again, but the words didn’t change. My heart skipped a beat and I pressed the phone to my chest.
