Zero Day Exploit (Bayou’s End #1.5)

Evan nuzzled into her hair, then pressed a kiss to her temple. “Turns out getting attached isn’t as bad as I’d thought.”
“Yeah?” she asked, nearly melting at that warm, contented smile on his lips.
“Definitely.”
“So what happens now?”
“We’ll worry about that tomorrow,” he said. “And the tomorrow after that, and the tomorrow after that. I’m not going anywhere, Zoraya. I’m home right here in your arms.”
“Good.” And ignoring her friends, ignoring their smug grins, ignoring even the forklift operator waiting for her to make up her mind, she stretched up on her toes and kissed him. “Because that’s exactly where I want you.”
And I always will.
