“But then I walked in, and saw this copper hair, those wintry eyes.” She
sighs. “And I thought, ‘Well, damn. He’s off-limits, Frankie. So

“Don’t notice the way he listens attentively. Don’t fall for how gentle he is,
how hard he works. Don’t feel yourself falling deeper when you see him
demonstrate that strength lies not in an assertion of power but in acts of service.
Don’t love him when he reads children’s books and tears up or holds your
friend’s baby like he was made to hold babies. Definitely don’t give him your
heart when he dances with you by the shore and makes you feel like you’re light
on your feet.”
She smiles up from underneath me, her hands gentling my face. “Don’t fall
in love with him when he touches you. When he makes you feel from a place in
your heart that you didn’t know existed. All that ridiculous naysaying, and I still
never stood a chance.”
Her hand rests over my heart as I hold her eyes. “Francesca?”
“Yes, Søren.”
“I love you. Always.”
“Always,” she whispers and seals it with a kiss.
