Pace
A New Life To-Do List
Written by Pace Leigh for Sophie Kincaid
(Additional notes by Pace in parentheses)
Go out on the town with Pace Leigh.
Stay in with Pace Leigh and watch every movie ever made.
Go on a double date with Pace and his best friend Levi and his fiancée Claire.
Give Grandma El and her cohorts an online safety tutorial.
Hike Cozy Creek Long Trail. (I happen to have a lot of experience with this trail.)
Road trip through the continental United States. (Who better than a fireman to keep you safe?)
Tell Pace how handsome he is every day. (If you insist.)
Meet the royal family. (I might have a connection.)
See the Grand Canyon. (I am very familiar with Arizona and the greater desert Southwest at large.)
Travel to space. (I might have to think on this one.)
Multiple mind-blowing, toe-curling orgasms, and forget-my-own-name sex. Every day. Until the end of time. (Please let that be me.)
Move in with the man I love. (Please let that be me.)
Get a pet. (How do you feel about turtles? I feel like that’s a good starter pet.)
Share my deepest secrets with the man I love. (Please let that be me.)
Listen patiently as Pace tries and fails to propose multiple times. (Because I’m a big idiot who can’t read the room.)
Have a big party, with all the people we love, where we promise to love each other until the end of our days. (I’m open to a big or small party, so long as you are there and the law makes it official. Is this too soon after my proposal?)
Create many new family traditions. (Allow me to be part of your family.)
Make 1–4 babies with Pace, if the fates allow. (Now, I would love to have a half dozen kids at least, but as you are the baker and the oven, I’m open to discussion. We will call it a Reach Goal.)
To Be Continued Forever . . .
