Snowflake Kisses Page 9
“I’m most certainly not. You once mentioned a bucket list item in need of exploring at 135 meters, remember? I’d like to help you make good on that wish.”
Alexa snatched the ticket from Vanessa’s hand and gasped. “Jackson, do you mean to say you’ve rented a pod on the London Eye…for tonight…for just the two of you?”
“I did, along with chocolates and champagne and a much more relaxed and enjoyable voyage through the skies above London.”
While Vanessa continued to gape, Alexa giggled, and sighed dramatically, dashing to the front hall where he heard the gentle squeak of the coat closet door coming open.
“What better place to make plans for the future,” Jackson said quietly, arms around her waist, focus intent. “I leave for America in a couple of days, but my heart is here. I fully intend many return trips to you and the UK. I want to build on what we’ve found, Vanessa.” He propped his forehead against hers, closed his eyes and murmured, “I love you.”
“I love you as well.” She nuzzled his neck, kissed both his cheeks before leaning back just a bit to capture his gaze in that coy, flirty way he treasured. “I’m a born jet-setter, you know. Love America. And I hear Los Angeles is wonderful.”
Alexa stepped forward, carrying their coats, a prompting glint in her eyes. “Yeah…it’s wonderful…fabulous.” She tapped her wristwatch. “You’ve got maybe a five-minute cushion at best. Get going!”
Jackson didn’t surrender his visual or physical hold on Vanessa. Not quite yet. Instead, he glided a fingertip against the tempting curve of her nose. “It occurs to me. The City of Angels. What a perfect spot for you.” He swept her into his arms and lifted her high, which earned him a happy exclamation. Following a sweet, smacking kiss, he settled her on her feet. “Shall we make a run for it?”
Radiant and glowing, Vanessa’s smiled spread wide. “Absolutely. I’m with you all the way!”
