'Silly girl—of course you do,' he murmured unsteadily. 'You have me—and our baby.'
A slow, radiant smile lit her face. 'I do, don't I? I love you, Nicholas.'
His eyes closed and when he opened them, the message shone clear. 'And I love you, Abbey Jones.'
And the way he kissed her then convinced Abbey, as no words ever could, that he certainly did.
