She waited until they were inside the small space before taking his hand and squeezing it. “I explained that I’m good friends with Joy. Then I told him what I would do to him if he hurt my friend.” She paused and her grin was wicked. “In great detail.”
Cal let out a laugh. He had no doubt Eve would defend his sister as fiercely as he would. And that was a damned good feeling. She fit his life, fit him, in ways he never could have imagined.
He glanced up at the light letting him know they were almost to their floor. He pressed a quick kiss to her lips, before pulling back and letting go of her hand. They faced forward as the elevator chimed, signaling the doors would open momentarily. But not before he had time to tell her once again how he felt.
“I love you, Eve.”
A saucy smile was all she offered as the doors slid open and they went back to work. It was all he needed.
