“I love you, too. I was just on my way to go and show you how much.”

Kellan lifted the locket with his hands. “I think you just showed me how much.”

I placed my finger over his lips. “As long as I can have you back afterwards, that’s all I care about.”

“Well, not that I condone lying, but did she believe you?” I asked.
