The car ride home was a symphony of delighted humming for Finn. He’d discovered, accidentally, of course, that Chloe had written a novel about their relationship. He was so happy! He needed to let it out. He tapped the steering wheel to the rhythm of his own internal song.

He imagined the look on her face when he told her. He saw her blushing, and trying to hide the pleased smile that would eventually break through.

He parked the car with a flourish and bounded towards the front door. He couldn't wait to see her, to hold her, and to tell her how much he loved it, and her.
