Chapter Eight

As Tierney stood at the floral cart designing a massive table arrangement comprising dark orange Asiatic lilies, burgundy miniature carnations, fuchsia spray roses, bicolored orange roses, peach hypericum berries, and greens, she could almost feel her own happiness seeping into the beauty of the arrangement.

Two nights before—the night she’d spent in Rome’s pickup as he plowed the streets of Leavenworth, some of the surrounding county roads, and finally the driveways of private customers he and Alec had procured—had been the most wonderful night of her life! More wonderful even than Halloween, and there had been days when Tierney had been certain nothing would ever top the magic of dancing with Rome and being kissed by him on Halloween. But the night she’d accompanied him plowing—two days later, she still felt as if she could take flight by thinking about it and will her body to do so.

Oh, certainly the kissing—what Rome had teased about being a “noncommittal make‑out session,” claiming he could spin her bottle like it had never been spun (and he certainly had)—was the wildest, most romantic, and wonderful part of the night! And yet, as Tierney carefully placed an extra lily into the arrangement she was finishing, she stood still awed at how truly wonderful the night had been.

She’d spent ten hours in the truck with Rome—ten glorious hours! And for most of that time, she and Rome had simply talked—shared memories and life experiences—teased, laughed, and even discussed serious matters such as politics and the state of things in the world. It had been an epiphanic sort of night, for Tierney was more certain than ever that she would never, never get over Rome Novak. She knew she wanted him—wanted him all for herself and forever. Of course, she’d known that from the moment she’d met him at her bridal shower—when he’d stepped out of a big box as her classic Latin lover. But after the romantic, insightful, truly bonding night of plowing, she knew she couldn’t live without him—at least not happily.

Rome had shared so much about himself—for one, his feelings of knowing he was adopted and the struggles he’d endured as a child and teenager in trying to understand it. But he explained that eventually he began to understand that if his biological mother hadn’t given him up, for whatever reason she did—if he’d never been adopted by Edward and Nikki Novak—he would never have known the profound, unconditional love they owned for him. He never would’ve known Celeste and had the blessing of knowing and loving her, his sister. He never would’ve met the people he met, been where he’d been and was. He’d winked at Tierney and added that he obviously wouldn’t have known Tierney either and told her that knowing her was enough of a reason on its own to be happy that he’d been adopted by his parents.

Naturally, they’d discussed Tierney’s past as well—though she was surprised at how much Rome already knew regarding it, via Alec. Rome openly
