Excerpt
I watched her with my entire heart in
my throat. I have never been so proud of anyone, ever, in my whole life.
The whole room just witnessed the
sweeping tower of her beauty and courage. Then, they saw the way her expression
changed from pride to exultant relief….like a dead man stumbling on a cure when
her eyes landed on me.
Not everyone gets the kind of love I
saw in her eyes. I feel like the luckiest man alive right now
because she’s back in my arms.
We’re the magnetic halves of one
whole - drawn together, locking into place, and then holding on for dear life
through the seismic shift of our world righting itself.
I breathe in her sweet, familiar
scent. There’s a new depth to it, less flower, more earth, but the essence of
it is unchanged.
“Carter, oh my God, Carter,” she
repeats over and over. Her arms are wrapped tight around me like I’m her
lifeline.
Holding her again, there’s no doubt
that she’s mine.
My heart is beating normally for the
first time in almost two years. My lungs inflate fully for the first time in
that long, too.
Her nose is pressed to my neck and
her lips move against the base of my throat.
My body reacts to her nearness, to the press of her curves, her breasts,
her thighs, the way her hair smells. So,
I put her down. When I look at her face
and see that smile, I want so badly to hold her again, my erection be
damned.
A throat clears behind us and I turn
sharply back to my table. Nadia’s staring at us with wide, wet eyes.
Next to me, the throat clears again
and this time, I follow the sound. Standing to my left is the man I’d seen her
with earlier. The one who’d wrapped his arms around her earlier, is looking at
me like if there was a baseball bat in reach, he’d use it to put some distance
between me and Beth.
She turns and wraps her arms around
his neck hugs him fiercely.
He hugs her back, but his eyes are
stony on me.
Who is the cradle robbing asshole?
She pulls out of his embrace and
smiles up at him. “Joe, I can’t believe I did it.”
His expression softens the minute he
looks down at her, his eyes shine with adoration.
“I can. You did a great job,” he says and taps the
end of her nose with the tip of his finger.
She preens and gives him a mock curtsey.
“You gonna introduce me, Beth?” he asks, nodding over her shoulder at me.
Her spine straightens and she
nods. Then, she turns back to me, that smile back o her face.
“Carter this is Joe…my neighbor and
my friend.” She squeezes his hand and they smile at each other.
“I’m her surrogate father,” he corrects in a deep
unequivocal voice, a glint of protective pride in his eyes. He shifts his
weight and for the first time, I realize he’s leaning on a cane.
“Joe, this is Carter. My….” Her lips
purse as she stops to choose her words, but and her eyes are bright with
jubilant joy as they scan my face as if the answers to the universe’s mysteries
can be found there. “He’s….my best everything. Ever,” she says with a happy,
matchlessly beautiful smile.
My heart does that thing…that
stumble, trip, and fall that has always been its response to being near her.
It doesn’t care that she’s my…whatever. It only knows that for
me, she is love.
