Chapter 15

Later that evening…

Stephanie had spent the afternoon by herself, rehashing the fight with Ries, and coming to the conclusion that she was penalizing him for having a past.

She felt terrible about her behavior – but also about his treatment of her. She knew he only wanted to protect her and that she meant a great deal to him – but she couldn’t stand being dependent on someone else.

She couldn’t stand the distance between them. After she ate supper alone, she went searching for the only man to ever stir her heart so deeply.

She found him in his room, reclining on the bed and flipping through the television channels. She observed him from the doorway, an idea forming in her mind. She yearned for the closeness they had experienced right after he’d gotten shot.

He was no longer wearing the sling and only a small bandage covered the wound now.
