I laugh, this time seizing the opportunity to kiss him. There's certainly a reason behind the number of individuals who have mistaken us for married. We are madly in love - still - and we do have our family. But push come to shove, a legal binding couldn't begin to define our relationship.

"It could be a mystery," I continue, slowly beginning to back us out of the alcove. "Would you like it to be a mystery, Ewan? Or would you like me to tell you? Or shall I stay silent on the whole matter?"
