As she unlocks the lock, she asks, “When did you have time to get it engraved? You’ve been with me all day.”
I smile sheepishly, and I can feel people looking at us, but they don’t matter. Only this moment does. “I did it.”
Her head whips up, her gaze colliding with mine. “You engraved it?”
“I wanted to do it without you knowing it.”
Her bottom lip pops out, and she sighs. “I love you so much.” She goes to her tippy-toes, but she doesn’t have to go far. I meet her in the middle, kissing her sweet lips and relishing the feeling of knowing she is happy. “Is this spot okay with you? I want to see it all the time.”
“It’s perfect.”
She beams up at me, looking so gorgeous it hurts. This is the girl I’ll love forever. The one who will not only make my life worth living but force me to never keep anything locked away.
She was born with the key to my heart.
I move behind her, wrapping my arms around her. I set my chin on her shoulder as she rubs her thumb along the engraving.

V-DAY
She locks it to the fence before looking over at me, our eyes locking. She kisses the side of my mouth, and I pull her closer, kissing her cheek as that feeling of pure completion fills me from tip to toe.
“I’m so glad I got knocked out by that cock.”
I grin against her lips. “I’m about to put it in a glass box to commemorate it.”
She grins back. “With the caption: Thank you, Stone Cock. You are the reason Dermot fell in love with Maggie.”
I kiss her top lip. “I fell for you long before the cock took you out.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. I fell for your mind first, your dirty words, then your smile, your laugh, and, finally, your heart. Now, I’m so obsessively yours, I wouldn’t know what to do without you.”
“Good thing you don’t need to find out.”
Against her lips, I whisper, “I love you, Maggie.”
Her fingers dance across my lips. “Don’t ever stop telling me that.”
“I won’t,” I promise just as her nose presses into mine. “You promise me the same.”
“Promise,” she says with her whole heart in her eyes. “Dermot?”
I kiss her top lip. “You love me?”
“So damn much.”
Once more, we’re grinning like fools at each other, but isn’t Valentine’s Day the best time to be a fool in love?
