Her heart thumps. The stupid painting thing. And then calling his house “home.” Despite their love lock, despite him planning this out, her insecurity convinces her she’s been too familiar. She’s freaked him out.
“Yes …?” Her voice is small, choked, little more than a whisper.
“When I went to get the lock, I got something else.” His hand goes back in his pocket and it comes out holding a bright, shiny key on a key ring shaped like a mini–lock. He takes her hand, turns it up, and places the key in her palm. “It’s for you.”
She looks at the key, then at him, then back at the key. “It’s … is it …?”
“It’s your own key. Finally. I’ve been meaning to get one cut for you for ages.”
“For your house?”
He shakes his head. “For
our
house. For the house I want to share with the girl who locked her bike to mine, and locked my heart to hers, and showed me love and lust can go together.”
For two seconds Jocelyn thinks she’ll cry, and then joy sweeps through her instead. She steps forward, presses her front to Lucas’s front, her lips to his, then steps back and says, “I lust you, Lucas Campbell.”
“And, Jocelyn Moore, I love you.”
