Honor and Protect: a small town romantic suspense novella (Heroes of Evers, TX Book 4)
Page 6
She let herself trust. She let herself live in the moment and know, for now, it was okay to rely on Carter. To rely on the strength of them together. The breath she took in that moment felt deeper, better, than any she’d felt in a long time. In that moment, Lily knew she didn’t want to live in the shadows of the past. Just because her exes had left, didn’t mean she should never trust again. She wouldn’t live a half-life any longer. She’d let herself believe in Carter and the happiness they could have together from this point on. If it didn’t last, she’d deal with that later. But she wouldn’t live in fear any longer.
Lily took Carter’s hand as he drove, and he turned to throw a quick wink and smile her way before focusing on the road. She let the smile that came from deep in her heart break free. Today was a good day. And that was what mattered right now. Today.
