Smiling beneath their kiss, Janna felt an overwhelming rightness about this all. As if a missing piece had fallen into place. Pulling back for a moment, she gazed into his eyes. “You’re a good man, Orvos. And if you let me, I think I can show you how true that is,” she said. “But before then, I think maybe we should really break those rules again,” she said, a thrill of excitement running through her. She had never felt so alive than she had in this moment.

Orvos simply laughed, genuine joy emanating from him like never before. “Absolutely!” he said enthusiastically as he leaned over her, one hand on the side of her face, the other gliding along her side as he fully embraced her once again.

A dance, an exchange, a conversation. Everything about the way he touched her made everything brighter and Janna wasn’t sure whether it was them and that chemistry that had never diminished in the years they had known each other, or whether it was a product of their shared time in the Nexus. Maybe it was both. Regardless, Janna was keen to get to know the nuance of this brightness and let it seep into her every pore.

Closing the gap and kissing him, she felt happy, content.

Water lapped at the shore, the sound beckoning to a woman standing there, head tipped upwards and her blond hair glowing beneath the sun.

Janna grinned. Sara Kingston could be a stickler for the rules and yet sometimes she baffled her daughter by her random freeness. But it was beautiful to see. Not wanting to interrupt, she got up from the large piece of driftwood she’d been sitting on and moved back up the beach to the park area. Her grin widened as she saw the dark form of Grady standing at the top of the hill. She broke into a jog, easily climbing the grassy knoll and flung herself into his arms. He caught her with a deep kiss. Young love at its finest.

Her hands moved over his skin, tracing the line of his shoulder as she shifted her weight, letting him roll her onto her back. Janna’s fingertips left electricity in their wake. For a brief moment she wanted this night to never end. After having take so long to get here, she just wanted to savour every single second. But the wonderful thing about all their patience and the way they had worked through the complicated events in the Nexus was that there was no rush. They weren’t going anywhere. And despite him being hundreds of years older than her, they still had plenty of time.
