Chapter Six

She still loves me . . .

Grant hadn’t gotten that thought out of his head since Hannah had uttered those words to him a few nights ago.

And what a night that had been.

He wanted Hannah more than damn near anything, and the way she pushed him, wanted to see all of him, made him want to give it. And he wanted to give her more. But she’d been tired, and in her defense, he had exhausted her.

He smiled and gave himself a mental high five that he still got his wife off so well that she almost lapsed into unconsciousness from the pleasure.

That’s when she’d said it . . .

“I love you.”

He replayed those words over and over and over.

It had been present tense and the most honest, best thing he’d ever heard in his life. He missed hearing it from her. Missed knowing it. But he did know it. Deep down, she loved him, and that was the hope he kept clinging to. And his stubborn wife was giving him crumbs to add to that hope.

“You talented son of a bitch,” Jake said from the other side of the pool table.

Grant stood, holding his pool stick after nailing a perfect shot. “This is a pretty great way to spend a lunch hour,” Grant said to his friend.

“Not so great for Jake, since he’s losing,” Gabe said from the corner, looking over the balls spread out on the table. Grant had met the deputy through Jake and Cal at the Crow’s Nest a few nights back. Since then, the guys had invited him out for their weekly Wednesday lunch session, which was a beer, a game, and catching up midweek to make plans for the weekend. Grant was liking this idea of . . . friends. He was seeing why people enjoyed genuine relationships with others. It was why he’d fallen for Hannah so far and fast. Now seeing her town and the people she’d grown up with, he was getting the notion that spending time in a place you loved with people who cared could have advantages over a big, cold city with a heartless mother and endless business discussions.

“Cal is still showing up, right?” Grant asked as Jake leaned in to take his shot.

“Yeah, I think he’s preparing his portfolio, though,” Gabe said. The man was nice and apparently well known around town. Jake kept calling him MEB, which stood for Most Eligible Bachelor.

“That guy has talent. I saw that subdivision he’s working on when I drove around the other day,” Grant said and took a drink from his longneck. He had chatted with Cal about an investment opportunity and told him he’d be happy to discuss his business. But this business didn’t feel like the cold New York he normally dealt with. He knew these men—at least, he was getting to know them—and he cared.

Jake shanked a shot, and Gabe laughed. “Your game is going to hell.”

“Says the guy who struck out with my wife last year,” Jake razzed.
