Jake picked up his suitcase and carried it inside. “I was thinking … how do you want to do this?”
She cocked her head to the side. “Do what?”
He took her into his arms and held her tightly. “I’m thirty-six and not getting any younger. I don’t want to waste a minute of my forever. I want marriage and a big family. I can have a ring on your finger by tomorrow, and a baby in your belly by next week. Does that work?”
She stepped back with a grin as wide as a canyon. “How about you put that baby in my belly tonight, and we get hitched at the courthouse tomorrow?”
She led him into their room, where they made love for hours. In the afterglow, she snuggled into his side and thought about her life. Abandoned by both her mother and father, she’d never been wanted or valued. She was afraid of the word love, but Jake showed her that love wasn’t only a word, it was an action, an emotion, and a way of life, and she wondered how she’d ever survived without it. Her life was full, her heart was bursting, and all because a man came to town to give back. In the process, he gave her everything.
