She snickers. “I love you too. That’s never been the problem.”
“The problem is solved. The only thing keeping us apart now is your stubborn ass. Hell, we could be married by now.”
“Let’s go a little slower, okay?”
“Darlin’, I’ve waited years to have you back. I’ll wait even more if you ask me to.”
“Good. We’ll pick up your things tomorrow.”
“Great!” She says in a flippant tone.
Eli leans forward and kisses the woman he gave his heart to years ago. When they pull away there are two sets of eyes staring through the railing on the stairs. “Mom’s moving in, Tyler. What do you think about that?”
The adults both start to laugh. “We’ll see, bud. We’ll see.”
