I grin.“Then you’re stuck with the purse.”

“And I love my purse.I haven’t had anything so—indulgent in a long time.”

She angles her chin upward to me again, a silent request I’m happy to fulfill.And it’smyturn to indulge as I feel her lips against mine.I’d swear her kisses taste even more decadent to me when she’s smiling.

I don’t have much time left before her son returns.I’m not certain in what way, but I know that thingswillchange after that.

So I’ll savor this while I can.
