“Yes, ma’am,” said Will. “And when we get back from Greece, I’m going to marry you.”
After catching my breath, I asked, “Is this your idea of a proposal?”
He grinned and snuck a glance at me while keeping an eye on the road. “Nope. That’s just a warning. You’ll know when I propose.”

“What did the bastard do to her?” sneered Will, checking his gun holster.
Gabby smiled. “Well, it’s sort of the other way around. Tina hit him with a frying pan over the head and he called the cops.”

“Hey, Alicia,” I called out. She turned, shocked that I had addressed her as I’d hardly ever spoken to her. “Maybe instead of putting your foot in your mouth, you should shove that file up your ass next time.”

“Nope. Not everything.”

We both chuckled.”

“We need to pick up a bag for me later. I want to spend the night.”
He lifted his head from my nipple and his hair fell in front of his eyes. I pushed it away as he looked at me. “I don’t want you to spend the night,” he said.
My heart stopped. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t want you to spend just one night or even two here. I want you to spend every day and every night with me. I don’t ever want you to leave, Christina.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder. The tears fell this time, and I didn’t even try to wipe them away.
“Is that a yes?”
“Yes!” I cried. “Absolutely, yes.”
“Good. Now I can love you properly and take my time.”

I inhaled sharply. “I love you, too, Will. I can’t believe I haven’t said it yet, but I’ve loved you for a while now.”
He smiled. “I know, but I really felt it today.”
“Why?”
“Because when you left that courtroom today, you left the past behind. I think you’re finally ready to accept a future—with me.”
Damn. He knew me better than I knew myself.”

“Thank you,” I said.
“For what? Agreeing to stay sober?” he chuckled.
I shook my head. “No. For being you. For being patient,” I kissed his lips softly, “and understanding when I need your help versus when I need your support. You get me like no one else ever has.”
“You make me want to know everything about you. Good, bad, and ugly. But it’s never ugly to me, remember that. Your past, who you are, is beautiful to me. You are beautiful not just here,” he caressed my cheek, “but here, too.” He placed his hand over my heart, and my eyes watered.
“No one has ever accused me of being soft.” I tried to smile, but my emotions were too shaky.
“You’re not soft, Christina. You are fiercely protective. And compassionate. Just because you love hard doesn’t make you a hard person.” He pulled me against him. “There’s only one thing that’s hard between us,” he said with a grin.”

“You know, I’ve been called strong and resilient before. And I used to think it was a compliment that I needed to be those things to be appreciated. But I get tired, too. I get emotional, even though I don’t show it like everyone else. But I’m exhausted. I want my life to be easy and uncomplicated.” A tear fell down her cheek and she wiped it away.
I held her face between my hands. “I don’t want to scare you, but I’ve never felt like this before. I’m not going to let anything happen to you or us. I’m here, baby. Through thick and thin, I will be right here for you.”

“What do you mean?” she asked.
“They prepared me for you.”
She sat up. “But I wasn’t abused.”
“No. But all these women, and all these difficult circumstances, taught me to be patient. They shaped me and prepared me for you.”
