“I think seeing the counselor is a great idea. I’ll call Rick to set something up.” He chucked her under the chin. “Don’t worry, sweetheart.” He turned back to the bag of groceries and pulled out a can of chicken noodle soup, placing it in the cupboard. “You’ll like her. She’s a well-respected psychologist, and a nice person to boot I’ve been told.”

“Good. The sooner, the better.” Rose just wished she felt as confident as she sounded. Her insides quivered, thinking about the possibility of regaining her memory. Afraid of what she might learn.

She picked up her bags and took them to her room. After she folded her meager purchases and placed them in the dresser, she sat on the edge of the bed and pondered her confused emotions regarding Nate.

Her attachment to him went deeper than sexual attraction, even though she went up in flames whenever he was near. She was falling for his gentleness. The way he always seemed to put her needs first. He’d been nothing but wonderful since she’d awoken in the hospital. He calmed her when she was upset and let her cry or yell when she needed to vent. He was attracted to her, but she didn’t know if he had feelings for her beyond that.

Her entire body burned when she remembered the way he’d touched her at the condominium. Then there was his protective side. Her butterflies stirred when she recalled the times his warrior had surfaced in her defense. What woman wouldn’t want an incredibly handsome man as their personal protector? The knowledge that he would put his life on the line for her sent chills through her. Not knowing if they were chills of fear or delight made her frown. The reality that he could actually be hurt protecting her dampened the fantasy.

Flopping back on the bed, she threw her arm over her face with a groan. Could her life get any more complicated? She closed her eyes and let sleep overtake her.

A knock at the bedroom door woke her. She could feel something important, a memory from her dreams that hovered at the edge of her subconscious. Closing her eyes, she tried to hang on to it, but it quickly faded away.

The bedside clock read three in the afternoon. Her stomach gave a growl of protest at missing lunch.

“Rose, are you awake?”

She got up and opened the door. Nate stood there with his hand poised to knock again. A look of concern etched on his face.

“I am now,” she said teasingly.

His intense expression softened. “You must be hungry. I have some grilled cheese and tomato soup ready.”

Rose laughed as she followed him into the kitchen. “Nate, you don’t need to cook for me all the time. You make me feel guilty. Tonight, I’ll fix dinner.”

Nate grinned. “You’re on.”

They sat down to eat. The grilled cheese sandwiches were cooked to a toasted perfection, and the tasty spices he’d added to the canned soup brought out its mild delicate flavor.

“Where did you learn to cook?”

He smiled ruefully.
