My heart twists. Not out of an ego boost, but because I tell myself it has
much more to do with what Frankie feels when we’re together. In her heart, not
just in her body. That for her, as it is for me, it’s not just sex. It’s making love.
“I’m sorry if I haven’t told you,” she whispers. “It’s not for lack of me
thinking it. A lot. Frequently.”
I press a soft kiss to her lips.
Her eyes meet mine, and she stares at me curiously. “You know how you
told me to get into Shakespeare Club, you have to recite verses that mean
something to you?”
“Mhmm.”
“If I were standing at the entrance for your meeting, determining whether or
not you got in, what would you say to me?”
The wind sends a swirl of dark hair across her face. I slip it safely behind her
ear, tracing my fingers down the shell of her ear, the smooth line of her neck.
“Francesca, are you trying to say you’d like to be wooed?”
She smiles up at me. “I was attempting to be coy. How’d I do?”
“Nailed it.” I pull her closer, feeling her heart beat hard against my chest.
“Let’s see. Ah, just the thing.”
Clearing my throat, I search her eyes. “‘Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt
that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love.’” I peer
down at her, giving her a soft kiss. “How’s that?”
Frankie’s smile deepens as she kisses me back. I hold her close in my arms
under the night sky’s canopy of fiery stars.
