Liv took a deep breath, trying and failing to keep her voice steady. “You think I’m cute?”
“Damn cute.” A fleeting smile crossed his lips, then his expression returned to serious. “You’re the one person whose opinion I care about. When I’m with you, the past disappears, and I’m a better person.”
She closed the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his waist.
His arms encircled her and his lips brushed her temple as he spoke. “I knew I was a gonner after we went lizard hunting.”
She looked up at him. “Then why’d you fight it so long?”
He turned his head away. “I don’t deserve to be happy. I’ve done some awful things, Liv.”
“When I came here, I didn’t know who I was. I had a hard time just being in public.” She put her hand on the side of his face. “Meeting you is the best thing that ever happened to me. Nothing you—or anyone else for that matter—say will change what I think about you.”
He grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the exit. “I guess there’s only one way to prove you’re theory.”
