  “But I do! I do want to go to New York!” Kristen swiveled in his arms. “When? How much time do I have?”

  “Anytime and as much as you want.”

  “Oh, Mitch!” She flung her arms around him and bounced little kisses off his chin and jaw and lips. “For the first time, I’m glad I have hardly anything to pack.”

  “So…you’re coming with me?”

  She pulled back. “Of course! I love you!”

  Mitch turned her around again. “Remember the time you forgot to tell me that you loved me?”

  She smiled and nodded. “But you said you knew it anyway.”

  “I said it was nice to hear the words, anyway.” He pointed to the flashing “Marry Me, Kristen” sign. “Forget something?”

  She flung herself into his arms. “Yes!”
