Alex's words left Zora stunned. Then, in the next moment, her face lit up.
"Oh, Alex…" She sprang to her feet and moved around the table, hugging his head from behind and resting her chin gently atop his head.
"I've had a front-row seat to the most miracles you've made happen so far. I'll never doubt anything you say you can do," she whispered.
Alex reached up, grasped her hands where they rested across his chest, and pulled her around until she sat astride his lap. His hands settled firmly around her waist.
"That's good to know," he said with a soft smile. Then, he leaned forward and kissed her.
It was gentler than before—less fiery, but no less intimate.
When they parted, Alex's grip around her waist unconsciously tightened.
"Thank you," he said, meeting her gaze with quiet sincerity.
