what?”
    “Plan a wedding.”
    He lowers his mug, a smile on the edge of his lips. “You want to get married in five months.”
    “If that’s okay.”
    “Whatever you want.” He leans over to kiss my cheek. “I would’ve married you yesterday if you asked.”
    Warmth fills me up—though that could be the coffee—and I smile behind my mug wondering how the hell I got so lucky. Maybe if he’s so agreeable, I don’t have to worry about convincing him on the no-sex deal.
    Hurdle number one…you’re up.
Maybe I should do stretches.
    “Hey, so…I wanted to talk to you about something.”
    “Sure,” Landon jams his phone in his back pocket and guzzles his coffee, eyes moving wildly over the counter in search of his keys or wallet. “But I’m running late, so make it fast.”
    I move the laptop to the coffee table and put on an excited grin. “I was thinking I wanted to make our wedding night really special.”
    He stops fumbling around for his keys, gaze flicking up to me. “Oh?” His grin gets wicked. “I most definitely will be up for that.”
    “Good, because here’s what I’m thinking…” I say, and he goes back to digging around the counter. Here goes nothing.
    “No sex till we’re husband and wife.”

Chapter 4
    I feel like I’ve stepped into one of those movies where the main character presses pause, starts talking to the audience, and walks through all the frozen people around them. I purse my lips, holding back my laughter as Landon continues to stare, stare, stare at me like I’ve sprouted hair all over my chin.
    “Um, babe?” I ask, waving my arm in front of me. “You still in there?”
    He blinks. “I’m waiting for you to say ‘Bazinga.’ ”
    “I’m serious. I think it’ll be fun.”
And get us out of our rut.
    His eyebrow arches, and I wait for the inevitable “no,” but it doesn’t come. Instead, he unfreezes, swings his key ring around his finger, and says, “Okay.”
    “Okay?”
    “Yep.” He pulls his jacket on and grabs his weathered Sweeney Todd baseball cap. He doesn’t put it on just yet, walking over to me and pressing a quick kiss to my lips. “I’ll call you on my break.”
    “Wait a second.” I snatch his jacket pocket. “That was
way
too easy.”
    “You think it’ll be fun. So let’s do it.” He grins. “Or
not
do it.”
    “You realize it’s five months.”
    “Yeah.”
    “No sex at all.”
    “Okay.”
    “No
form
of sex.”
    “Yeah, I get it.”
    “And you’re seriously just okay with no reason other than ‘It’ll be fun’?” I cross my arms. “I don’t buy it.”
    He growls, sliding onto the couch next to me. “Okay…don’t get mad…but you do this a lot.”
    My brows bunch in the middle of my forehead. “Do what?”
    He runs a hand over his face, then around the back of his neck. “You get really excited about something, and then…well, the next day you just…aren’t as excited.”
    Oh hell no. “You’re lucky I stayed excited about
you
.” I poke him in the chest, and he rubs the spot out with a laugh.
    “You’re right. I’m sorry.”
    Bull. He still thinks I’m going to flake out. He’s dead wrong. If anything, he just sealed it airtight. Even if he wasn’t going to go along with it, I’ve just shut my business down for…well, business.
    “All right. Hands off until January.” I smile big and determined. But a flash of confusion runs across his face.
    “January…”
    “That’s five months, Landon.”
    “But January is Sundance.”
    Balls
. Sundance is Landon’s annual movie nerd orgy. He hasn’t missed one since he was seventeen. Normally I’d be okay with it, and I’d suggest going with him, but the thought of all that snow has me shivering already.
    “Can you skip one year?” I ask, knowing the answer before he even opens his mouth.
    “It’s Sundance, Lizzie.”
    “But it’s our wedding now, too.”
    He pats his hat against his leg. “Does it absolutely
need
to be?”
    His eyes swivel
