I woke up the next morning to the sound of rain beating on the windows. The clock on my nightstand said 9:05 a.m., and for a second, I panicked that I’d overslept and missed teaching my Sunday eight a.m. class. And why was I naked?

Then I remembered I’d taken the weekend off. And the lack of pajamas—as well as the soreness in my muscles—was due to the man sleeping next to me. I rolled over and looked at him, unable to keep a smile off my face.

We could get it right this time, couldn’t we? It might not be easy, and it might take a lot of travel or even a move eventually, but we were too good together to be apart. Whatever it took, we could make it work.

Dropping a quick kiss on his chest, I left him sleeping in my bed, slipped into a short white robe, and tiptoed out to the living room. Along the way I saw random pieces of clothing that we’d stripped off each other last night on our way to my room. His jeans, my shorts, my bra, his T-shirt, my blouse, our shoes. Finally, I spotted my purse on the floor near the front door. I pulled my phone out of it to check my messages and saw that I had one from Allegra saying all was well at the studio and she hoped I was resting peacefully, and a ton from my sisters.

I was supposed to be meeting them for brunch at eleven, like we did every Sunday. Part of me wanted to cancel on them since I had a gorgeous, sexy man who adored me in my bed and it was pouring rain, but long ago my sisters and I had made a pact that we wouldn’t skip out on each other unless it was absolutely necessary. Plus, I was dying to tell them about my weekend.

How insane that my life had taken such a sharp turn in only two days!

I quickly scrolled through the messages, which were mostly them going back and forth about where we should eat and both of them wondering why I wasn’t answering my texts.

Me: Sorry guys, I’ve been busy.

Stella: Everything okay? We were getting worried.

Me: Yes. I’ll tell you all about it at brunch. What did you guys decide on?

Stella: Lady of the House and we have a reservation at 11.

Me: See you there.

I went back into my bedroom and plugged my phone in to charge. As soon as I climbed onto the bed, Dallas opened his eyes. “Morning,” I said, sitting on my heels beside him.

“Morning.”

“Did you sleep okay?”

His brow furrowed. “My head was bothering me for a while. I don’t think I slept much.”

“It probably didn’t help that I woke up screaming. Sorry about that.”

He reached out and put a hand on one knee. “It wasn’t that. Did you sleep okay afterward?”

I nodded. “I did. Fell back asleep really easily and slept all the way through until about ten minutes ago.”

“Good.” His eyes closed again.
