The day was waning as Colt unloaded Marlee’s things from the truck and put them into one of three guest bedrooms, with the exception of her purse and crutches, which he left in the living room, close to her chair.

His was a big house built for a big family, but Colt had thought of it as a place to spread out and make his own. Considering he hadn’t thought he’d settle down, maybe something inside him had known that was exactly what he needed to do.

Now, the sounds of Marlee’s laughter and images of kids running around the huge home filled his mind. The guestrooms would become bedrooms for the kids—three would be perfect. His game room would become a place with things for kids to do, too, and his man cave would transform into a family room. There was so much that could be done to his home so that it was no longer a bachelor’s place.

When he finished bringing in Marlee’s things, he paused in the living room to watch her sleeping. She looked so beautiful, but the bandaged head wound, scratches, and scrapes all over her face and arms made his gut hurt. She could have been killed. He’d been terrified for her when he’d woken in the hospital. Even though the nurses assured him she was fine, he hadn’t been satisfied until he’d seen her for himself.

And even then, his heart had ached at the sight of her connected to monitors, an IV in her arm, bandages over her head and eyes, and her ankle in a cast. He’d never been so terrified in his life as he had been for her. It had made him rethink his life and realize she was the woman he was meant to spend the rest of his life with.

Colt’s own body twinged with pain from cuts and bruises he’d sustained in the accident, and he had to keep moving to keep from getting too stiff and sore. Considering how his seatbelt had broken when the truck rolled, it was a wonder he came off with a mild concussion and so little in the way of injuries.

He studied Marlee. He could picture himself waking up in the morning with her at his side and watching her sleep.

He returned to the kitchen and made a pile of roast beef sandwiches along with a pitcher of iced tea from the tea he’d just brewed. He checked Ranger’s bowl of water and gave the appreciative dog a treat.

Colt peeked into the living room and saw that Marlee was awake. “Hi, sleepyhead.”

She looked tired but smiled at him when he walked in. “I guess I needed that.”

“I’m glad you got some rest,” he said. “Are you hungry?” He gave a nod in the direction of the kitchen. “I made a simple dinner. Roast beef sandwiches.”

“That sounds great.” She held her hand to her belly. “You must have heard my stomach rumbling.

He grinned and started for the kitchen. “I’ll be right back.”

Colt returned with glasses of iced tea and handed one for Marlee before setting his own on an end table.
