He smiled and kissed her tenderly, with growing passion. ‘I’ve a feeling that life is going to be sheer bliss from now on,’ he said after a while, his voice roughened.
She came up for air briefly. ‘Oh, yes, definitely.’ She kissed him again and neither of them spoke for a long, long time after that. They were far too busy showing their love for one another.

“It’s still there, isn’t it, despite everything?”
Annabelle frowned, moving under one of the street lamps along the edge of a park. “What is?”
“That old spark.”
She’d felt that spark the second she’d laid eyes on Max all those years ago. But he wasn’t talking about way back then. He was talking about right now.
“Yes,” she whispered.
She wished to hell it weren’t. But she wasn’t going to pay truth back with a lie.
“Anna…” He took her hand and eased them off the path and into the dark shadows of a nearby bench.
She sat down, before she fell down. His voice… She would recognise that tone anywhere. He sat beside her, still holding her hand.
“You’ve changed,” he said.
“So have you. You seem…” She shook her head, unable to put words to her earlier thoughts. Or maybe it was that she wasn’t sure she should.
“That bad, huh?”
“No. Not at all.”
He grinned, the flash of his teeth sending a shiver over her. “That good, then, huh?”
Annabelle laughed and nudged him with her shoulder. “You wish.”
“I actually do.”
When his fingers shifted from her hand to just beneath her chin, the shiver turned to a whoosh as all the breath left her body, her nerve endings suddenly attuned to Max’s every move. And when his head came down, all she felt was anticipation.
