She shakes her head. “No. I mean, I prayed for a man like you. Someone who won’t hurt me, who’d give me a home and allow me to love him.” Her fingers brush over my shoulder. “You’re the answer to my prayers.” My heart swells double its size with affection for her. I take hold of her wrist, and bringing her hand to my mouth, I kiss her fingers, then chuckle, “Jesus, I’m falling so hard for you.”
