“You’re wonderful, you know,” I said, sighing against his chest. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you.”
“Be you, maybe?” He laughed as he pressed his lips to the top of my head. “You talk about undeserving—I’m the one who thanks his lucky stars that you’re not tired of me yet.”
I pulled back and looked up into his eyes. “I’ll never be tired of you.”
He put his hand against my cheek, cradling it softly. “I love you, Hailey. You are the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.”
“I know,” I said with an impish grin, and I kissed him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the office. “Let’s go make some art.”
Acknowledgments
Writing this book was a challenging experience for me. A lot was shifting in my writing career during the process, and I owe a lot to the people who helped me complete it. So here’s to you guys. You’ve got all my gratitude!
To Scotty, my husband and superhero. I can’t make this whole writing thing work without you. Thank you.
To Denise, who talked me off the ledge a LOT during this book. You mean the world to me. Thank you.
To my parents, who keep bugging me to make sure I’m getting my words done. I love you. Thank you.
To Heather, who’s always willing to lend an ear or an idea. Thank you.
To Stephanie, who gave me lots of drug research help. Having a pharmacist in the family is so very awesome, and having a bestie like you is even more awesome. Thank you.
To my editor, Sue Grimshaw, who fell in love with Hailey and Neill and wouldn’t rest until they were published. Thank you so much for giving me this shot.
And finally, to my super agent, Nicole Resciniti. You gave me a chance despite the negatives. It’s amazing to have such a rock-star agent. I’m so grateful to you. Thank you.
