Jamal's eyes were soft as they moved over Abigail's face. His lips parted slightly, but no words came.
She frowned playfully. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Slowly, he reached out, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. His fingertips brushed her skin, making her shiver. "Because I'm so happy to finally be with you this way. And I can't wait for everything to settle down so we can get married."
Her heart skipped a beat, but her smile spread. "Me too."
She stepped forward and embraced him. Jamal's arms went around her and he held her tight, his chin resting against her hair.
They stayed like that for a moment until Jamal shifted, pulling away quickly.
Abigail caught it, and the heat rising to his face then she burst into laughter.
Jamal's ears turned red. "Why are you laughing?"
She pointed, still giggling, at the obvious bulge pressing against his pants now.
