I get in bed beside her and pull the covers up. She slides over and lays her head on my chest while her finger circles the heart tattoo on my chest.

"Jace you know what my mom asked me today?" She said.

"No what did she ask Willow?"

"She asked me if the love of a good man could keep me here." She said.

"Well can it?" I ask her running my fingers through her hair.

"I told her it was possible." She said looking up at me.

I gently pull her face up to mine and kiss her lips. "I'm so glad your here," I said.

"Let's just say I uproot my life and move back here to Woodstock where would I live? How would I get my business going?" She said.

"You can live with me if you want and I'll help you get your business up and going. I'd bend over backward to help you Willow." I said kissing the top of her head.

"If I decided that I would only be coming back for this relationship Jace. I mean sure my parents and Ben is a plus but it would be for you." She said.

"And I would do anything for you Willow," I said lifting her up to lay on top of my body.

"You could handle this daily?" She smirked.

"Oh, you bet I could," I said kissing her lips softly. "Willow I want you for the rest of my life."

She smiled at me and laid her head on my chest and fell asleep as I played with her hair.

The alarm went off the next morning and she was still laying on top of me. I wrapped my arms around her squeezing her tight and kissed the top of her head.

"Willow I need to get up so we can get ready for work," I said. She yawned and wiped her mouth and looked up at me. "Conserve water?" She asked.

"Hell yeah." I laugh.

She gets up and I follow her into the bathroom taking off the rest of my clothes along the way.

Once in the shower, she washes her hair and I watch as her nipples harden as the water and suds run down her body. I can't help but reach out and gently squeeze on between my fingers.

She looks up at me and smiles. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself," I said.

We didn't have time for what we did yesterday we were in a rush and I have to pick the guys up this morning at two different places.

We hurry up and dress and I grab some granola bars and Gatorade's and head out to the truck.

"Can I have one of those?" She points to the Gatorade.

"Sure Willow I brought them for us have a granola bar to hold you over for a while." I smiled.

"So will I see you tonight?" She asked.

"For sure. I'm hoping we can talk more about this moving thing." I smile.

I pull up at Rustic Noel to drop her off and she leans over and kisses me several times. "Be careful today Jace." She said getting out of the truck.

"I will baby. Bye, I'll text you later." I said as she shut the door.

I waited for her to go in the store before I pulled out of the parking lot and head to pick up Ben and Noah.

I pulled up at Willow's parent's house and Ben and Noah walked out. I was confused but glad I didn't have to go across town to get Noah.

"Noah when you did you here?" I asked.

"A few minutes ago. My buddy dropped me off. I figured it would be easier." He said.

"So how's my sister since I don't see her now." Ben laughed.

"She's good I dropped her off at work," I said grabbing one of those granola bars and eating it.

The rest of the way to the farm Ben and Noah talked about Video games. Which was fine for me my mind was swirling about Willow and getting her to stay here.

We pull up at the tree farm and I look at the order form to see how many are shipping out today and how many need to go back to the lot.

"Alright looks like 60 is being shipped out today and 30 going back to the lot. Let's get it done boys." I said.

I was tired and sick of looking at trees. I didn't even want to look at another tree by the time we made it back to the lot.

"Jace I have a big pot of potato soup on at the house. Get Willow and you guys come eat ok?" Mom said.

"I can do that. I'm going now to pick her up. Dad is giving the guys a ride home." I said walking to my truck.

I pull up at Rustic Noel and Willow is waiting on me. "Hey!" She said getting in the truck.

"Hey! So mom made a big pot of potato soup and wants us to come over and eat with them. Are you ok with that?" I ask her.

"Of course Jace I love your mom's cooking." She smiles.

We pull up at the house and I follow Willow into the house. Dad is in his chair and mom is in the kitchen.

"Well hey, Willow! It's good to see you." Dad said.

"Hey, Terry! It's good to see you too." Willow smiled walking into the kitchen to see if mom needs any help.

"Well, you both look, happy son," Dad said.

"We are. I'm trying to figure out a way for her to stay. We talked about it last night." I said.

"You know if she decides and wants her own place I have that house just right out of town. The people moved out and I was going to sell it." He said.

"I forgot about that. Think maybe we could look at it, dad?" I ask.

"Sure I'll get the keys." He said.
