Turns out leaving my colleagues and stepping out of the rat race of UNM was the best decision I ever made. I’ve never been so happy in my life.
“Something came for you.” Caleb pulls a letter out of his back pocket.
I catch the name of the science publication I submitted to and snatch it out of his hand, ripping it open in record time.
I unfold it, skimming as fast as I can. “Yes!”
Caleb raises his brows in question.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“It’s a yes! They took my paper for publication and invited me to present at the annual conference! This is huge!”
“Congratulations!” Caleb picks me up and swings me around. “You did it. I knew you would. You are amazing!”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I kiss his ear and temple, everywhere my lips reach.
He laughs. “What are you thanking me for?”
“Believing in me. Making me happy. This life.”
He squeezes me tighter, so tight my breath leaves my chest. “Fuck, I love you, babe.”
“I love you so much, Caleb.”
He eases me down, twining his fingers in mine and tugging me back to the cabin.
“Where are we going?” I laugh, even though I already know the answer.
“To celebrate. Naked. All afternoon.”
“Hmm…” I pretend to consider. “Yes, I think that would contribute to my research.” I beam up at him, my happiness bubbling all around me.
He sweeps me up into his arms like I weigh nothing and carries me back to the cabin, where I know he’ll make sure I get all the data points necessary.
