“I don’t deserve you.” He felt like a weight that he hadn’t even known had been perched on his shoulder was suddenly gone. He hooked his arm around her shoulders. “Let’s go to bed.

“Now I’m hungry. How about pancakes?” Miranda suggested.

Oh, he was fucked. If she was buttering him up with pancakes, then she wanted something, and he knew what it was.

“Seriously, I’m tired.” He faked a yawn.

“I want pancakes,” she said as she reached in the pantry for the syrup and the pancake mix.

“You want to talk some more,” he sighed.

“Correction, I want you to talk some more. I spilled my guts, but you’ve never really told me what it was like when you climbed down the cliff.”

He thrust his hand through his hair. “Please, I’m begging you, let’s go to bed.” He kept a smile in his voice. Maybe charm would work. She watched as she continued to mix the batter.

“I’m making pancakes. I’m making enough for both of us, you can stay up and eat some with me, or you can go to bed. Your choice.”

God, she was a stubborn wench!

“I already told you I was mad at God. What more do you want from me?”

She set down the whisk and leaned her elbows against the counter and looked at him. She bit her lip. “I remember bits and pieces of what you told me when I was in the hospital, but that’s all. It’s just bits and pieces. I guess I unconsciously knew this was a tough subject for you, so I didn’t ask more. I didn’t ask the tough stuff But now that we’re at it, I just want to know. Is that so wrong?”

“You didn’t remember what we talked about in the hospital?”

She shook her head.

How come he hadn’t realized that?

“I want five pancakes,” he said.

She gave him a relieved grin and turned back to the batter.
