I smiled. She’d eaten so many of those, she swore she was never going to look at another caramel again. “If she was able to find more sugar,” I said.
“Do you know that she brought them there in a Louis Vuitton purse?” Emily laughed. “She used it just like a brown paper bag. The purse was worthless. It was the caramels everyone was drooling over,” she said, her voice mildly incredulous.
“Things have changed,” I said with a chuckle.
She rolled toward me and propped her hands on my chest and laid her chin there. “Yes,” she agreed. “Lots has changed. But other things have stayed the same.”
She leaned up and kissed me and rubbed her nose over mine. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Come on, Mattice,” she said, as she got up. “Caramels await. And maybe we can find a few books to add to that library of yours.”
I descended the ladder first and she followed, and then we exited the barn, strolling hand in hand through the orchard. The cloudless sky stretched over the land, what, to us, was the whole wide world, our patch of heaven, and where our journey had ended, all woven together by a thread of love.
