From the Blurb:
Books & Biscuits was dark, the blinds down, and showed no signs of life. Unsure what to do, I had the driver park and wait for a few minutes as I sent Max a text letting him know I was there.
After a minute, the blinds in the bookstore were raised, and I saw Max standing, lit up and looking as angelic as he had the first time that I’d seen him all those years ago.
Getting out of the car and thanking the driver, I couldn’t help but return the grin that Max gave me. Maybe things would be okay with us after all.
Before I could get there, Max hurried to the door and yanked it open, rushing over to me. He slammed into me, wrapping his arms around my middle and squeezing tightly.
“Ouch! Careful. I’m a bit sore still.” I said reluctantly. I wanted to keep holding him, but I should have done some stretches or something because I suddenly felt worn and achy. Relief at his greeting carried my worries away, and the weight on my shoulders lessened.
Max didn’t let go, but his hug did gentle, holding me like I was made of glass. It made me regret saying anything.
Settling my chin on his white-blond head, I inhaled the scent of him, the familiar shampoo and smell of my Max. He tried to pull away, but I held on firmly. “In a sec.”
I felt more than I heard his chuckle, and his arms tightened briefly around me before he grabbed handfuls of my t-shirt, settled his face against the base of my neck, and sighed.
This was what peace felt like. Better than any medicine. More healing than all my hours of therapy. Exactly where I needed to be.
“I’m sorry, Max. Whatever I did. I’ll fix it if I can. I’ll be better. I promise.”
