-Yes - she whispered, her heart pulsing violently with fire. If it hadn't been for Jane and Andre standing right next to them, her lips would be already on his. -I mean sure, whatever. We can go, maridito. -

Jane and Andre high fived, which made Jane's towel dangerously close to the ground.

Mathias looked startled and then closed the distance between their faces. He kissed her on the cheek, making her blush.

-This is because you just spoke Spanish to me and that might have just been the coolest thing ever. - he said, unbothered by their friends' presence. -And this... this is because I love you. -

This time, he kissed her for real. Her lips parted slowly, allowing him the time to pull her closer. He tried to move the hair away from her face, but was still wearing his oven gloves. Luz bursted out laughing and gently pushed him away.

He didn't look offended, but his big green eyes were waiting expectantly.

-I love you too -

Jane shouted at Isaac to come into the kitchen for some mind-blowing news that everyone was already aware of. Andre asked him to do the same, but also to bring some money because he had won some kind of bet. Everyone laughed, and Mathias wrapped his arms around her waist, his head leaning on her shoulder.

Luz closed her eyes and for the first time in over a thousand years, she truly cherished being alive.
