After watching Mary disappear from view, Patrick sat back in his seat and closed his eyes. It got harder to leave her every time he had to do it. To say his feelings for her had been unexpected would be the understatement of the decade. He’d been bowled over by her from the first time he laid eyes on her in the office, the day Cam took him up to see where she worked.

He’d only ever had that reaction to one other woman, and right when he’d accepted that he’d never fully recover from losing his wife so suddenly and tragically, along came Mary to show him he was still capable of truly loving a woman. Running his hands over his face, he tried to shake off the cobwebs of the mostly sleepless night and shift his focus to the meetings that awaited him in New York.

But he found his thoughts returning to her over and over, thinking and rethinking the dilemma of her living in Vermont while he resided in New York. In truth, it wasn’t much of a dilemma. They were both adults and could do anything they wanted, but he already knew her well enough to know that she’d never go for being dependent upon him financially.

Maybe then she’d consent to letting him take care of her.

The thought had him riveted to his chair, every cell in his body on high alert. After he lost Ali, he’d vowed to himself that he would never marry again out of respect to her memory and the love they’d shared. He’d made that vow thirty years ago, before he knew just how lonely he’d be without her.

Her.

He’d been looking for his sweet, sweet Mary.

But was he prepared to marry her to have her in his life every day? Yes, absolutely. Awareness of what he’d just acknowledged swept through him like a tsunami, filling every part of him with excitement and anticipation and relief. He was so damned relieved to have her in his life, to feel that connection he’d had only one other time and to know that she felt the same way about him.

It was far too soon for his skittish Mary for talk of engagements or weddings, so he’d spend the next few months showing her she could count on him, that what they’d found together would last the rest of their lives and that he couldn’t wait to have her with him every day as his wife, his lover, his best friend, his travel companion and as a stepmother to his beloved daughter.

He hoped that once Cam realized that he truly loved Mary, she would be thrilled to welcome Mary into their family. She adored Mary, and
