“I believe you,” she said and went up on her toes to kiss him. “And I don’t want to miss another minute of life with you.”
“Thank God,” he murmured and wrapped her in his arms before kissing her until they were both breathless. Finally, he lifted his head, looked down into her eyes and whispered, “You’re everything to me, Kayla. I love you now and forever.”
“That’s all I need to know, Matt. I love you, too, and I can’t wait to see the artist studio you have waiting for me.”
He grinned. “You can see it in a few hours. We’re flying out tonight on the Lassiter jet.”
“Tonight?”
He cupped her cheek in his palm. “We’re not wasting another minute, Kayla. Let’s start our lives together now.”
“But the gallery, I’ve got to hand in my resignation. And there’s Angie, I shouldn’t leave her right now.”
He held her in a hard hug, then looked down into her eyes. “We’ll both be there for Angie and Evan. Once things here settle down some, they’ll be coming back to L.A., too. Until then, there are a few things I have to take care of in L.A. but we can fly back here together next weekend. And then we’ll stay as long as they need us. Okay?”
They really could have the best of both worlds. His cliffside place in L.A. and her cottage here in Cheyenne. She wouldn’t really be giving up anything to move; instead, she would be gaining everything.
She was going to take that leap of faith. Kayla knew that being with Matt would make her life happier than she’d ever dreamed possible.
She smiled up at him, reveling in the promise of love and life and a future that looked brighter than any she could have dreamed of. “Let me get my purse.”
