~ Excerpt ~

“She’s my mother,” my voice quivers. I close my eyes when he touches my cheek. “Ever since the first time I went back on my birthday—I can’t stop thinking about her, Rick.” I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

He nuzzles my cheek, and I feel his warming breath against my skin. I’m safe, comfortable.

“I saw how she was with me,” I whisper, because if I have to be any louder I won’t be able to go on. “I was a baby, and I saw how much she loved me. She sang to me. My dad—-we were all so happy.” I shake my head. “That’s what I want. I need that. He does too.”

Rick’s eyes soften. “And if you’re successful, you know things will change.”

“Of course I do. I’ll have my mom.”

“Not that.” He glances away, pain etched on his face. “Your life will change. Our life.”

My brow furrows. “What are you trying to say?”

“What if we don’t know each other anymore?  What if we lose each other?”

The idea quickens my pulse. I brush his soft hair off his brow. “It won’t. Nothing could change how I feel about you.”

Doubt mars his face. I lean forward and brush my lips against his. Passion comes quick as our lips part, searching each other. I wrap my arms around his neck as he lifts his body onto the bed beside me. He kisses my jaw and rests his head against mine.

“I don’t want to lose our future, Lara. Are you willing to risk everything you know for this?”

Rather than answer him, I lay my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me. I’m cocooned and safe.

Despite it all, the answer is yes.
