When Brittany woke up the next morning, the bed was empty beside her. She rolled to her side and felt a tear drop drip down and roll across the pillow. Gideon hadn’t even been there when she woke up. What on earth was wrong with her that he couldn’t stick around for that long?

She was just starting to swing her feet out of bed when he entered the room, a tray in his hands. “I brought you breakfast in bed.” He waited for her to move into a sitting position with her back against the headboard, and then he lowered the tray to her lap.

She looked at the flower in the vase and smiled. “The roses aren’t blooming yet.”

He sat down in a chair beside the bed and smiled at her. “The roses do as they’re told.”

Her eyes widened as she understood his meaning. “You grew this for me?”

He smiled. “How could I not have a rose for my beautiful bride? Of course I grew it for you.”

She took a bite of the eggs he’d cooked, and shrugged. They weren’t great, but they weren’t terrible. “There’s an African violet that my mom loved dying on the windowsill. It’s been trying to die since a few months after she was gone, but I’ve kept it barely alive.”

Gideon stood up and walked to the violet in question, putting one finger in the dirt and asking it to grow. My bride wants you to be big and beautiful. Will you grow for me? He didn’t have to look to know the flower was growing. She gasped, staring at it. He grinned at her. “Didn’t you believe I could do it?”

“Sure, I did, but seeing it is so much more powerful than just believing it’s possible. It’s so beautiful, Gideon!”

“We’ll have to make sure to put this in a place of honor when we get home.”

She smiled at that. “Home. Your house has always felt like it should be home to me, as crazy as that seems.”

“It doesn’t seem crazy at all. I think our home holds part of our magic, or whatever you want to call it. It seems to welcome those who belong there. I know some of my aunts said that about the house, my mother has always said it, and Claire said it, too. You belong to the McClains, so the house welcomed you.”

“I like that idea. Whether it’s true or not, I’m going to choose to believe it.”

He grinned at her. “I woke up early to make you breakfast in bed.”

“That was very kind—wait…who are you and what have you done with my Gideon? He doesn’t get up before noon if he has a choice!”

He laughed. “I wanted to make you smile, so I did something special for you. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”

She nodded, surprised though. He was treating her—well, like he really was in love with her. Someday she might be able to believe that. “I have a lot to do today,” she said, changing the subject from the difficult one they were discussing.
