Savanna could just smile big. A wedding! With Korbin. Her heart did an ecstatic flop.
She left the house and ran to Hurley, who’d climbed onto the snowmobile. It was a clear day, but the forecast had called for snow later that night. As Hurley drove the snowmobile away, she blew a kiss to her mom, who watched from the open front door.
It was a lot faster on a snowmobile. Hurley stopped beside another snowmobile parked in front of Silver Plume. Savanna got off and waved goodbye to him.
Her heart was racing wildly, as though she’d skied there. Taking a deep breath, she opened the yurt door.
Korbin was in a long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans and no shoes. His light gray eyes were fixed on her. He seemed anxious, but passion simmered underneath that.
She closed the door. It was warm in the yurt and the only light came from the wood-burning stove and candles. There was a huge vase full of red roses on the table, which was set for dinner. Whatever he was cooking smelled lovely.
“Hi,” she said.
He started toward her. When he reached her, he slid a hand to the nape of her neck and kissed her.
“Everything okay?” she asked.
“More than okay.”
“You seem...tense.”
“I was. And then you walked through the door and everything made sense again.”
She smiled. “Got it all figured out, have you?”
“It took a little convincing, but yes.”
“What kind of convincing?”
“My mom. Fallon. They made me see that I have to move on.”
She looped her arms around him. “I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that.”
“And I came to the realization that my life would be lacking without you.”
She sighed with exaggeration. “Finally. A man for me.”
“A rich one.”
“A faithful one.”
“Always. I will never betray your trust, Savanna.”
Korbin was a man who did what he said and said what he meant. And he was all hers. For the first time in her life, she believed that.
