“What?” I look at him puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”

“You’re a challenge….always challenging me, at least. I appreciate that. So I accept all future challenges from here on out!” He looks delightfully giddy.

I clap my hands together and smile. “Really? All challenges?”

He nods. Oh men, the weaker sex.

“Great!” I say jumping up and down “On your mark—”

“Get set!” I plant my feet, knowing he’s going to lose because he’s been chasing the dog around the firehouse for the past hour. I love winning.

“Go!” I take off like a crazy person and fall just as fast. What in the world?

Preston sits on the floor with me and laughs, “I was trying to tell you. Your shoes are untied.”

I look at him and blush slightly before I lean over and kiss him on the mouth. “I love you.”

He chuckles. “Like I said before, you’re crazy, but I love you too.”
