Written With You

My heart sank when I thought it was another IOU, this time for the price of the irreplaceable necklace. But Caven made hurried work of opening it.
A heart-shaped necklace fell out onto the palm of his hand.
I gasped, gripping his forearm.
I waited for the relief and joy to hit him, but as he read the paper, it was a loud laugh that sprang from his throat. He handed me the paper and then immediately got busy untangling the chain.
The note read:
You know who would love a hideous necklace like this? My sister. You saved her life once. So in a way, you saved mine too. Sorry I thanked you by stealing your wallet. I’m complicated. Willow’s not though.
And then, at the bottom, she’d left him my name, my address in Puerto Rico, and my phone number.
She was right. Hadley had been complicated. And I had no idea why she’d left that note because she’d never given Caven his wallet back. Or how it had gotten into a purse I had personally gone through years earlier.
But then again, maybe Caven had been right and everything—even the timing of us finding that necklace—happened for a reason.
Or maybe we had always just been two players in serendipity’s greatest game of all.
Because the smile on my husband’s face as he looped that necklace around my neck was one of the most spectacular things I would ever witness.
“I love you, Willow,” he murmured against my temple.
I sucked in a deep breath and squeezed the heart charm hanging at my throat, relishing in the wonderful life that man had given me. “I love yo—”
“Willow!” Rosie yelled. “Are you coming? She really stinks!”
Yeah. That was our life. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
I laughed, tears of pure happiness filling my eyes.
He kissed me again and then put his fist on his flat palm. “Rock, paper, scissors.”
I grinned and mirrored his position as we both counted off, “One, two, three… Go.”
