Half an hour later, we’re cleaned up, dressed, and I’ve packed an overnight bag. Actually, it’s several overnights, according to Mal. He’s proclaimed that he doesn’t want to let me out of his sight, and I’m all too happy to be claimed by him. I cram an enormous amount of clothing into my one bag, along with a few bathroom necessities. Mal wants to walk, but I insist on driving because I still worry about his ankle.

It takes all of five minutes to get to Mal’s place from mine. I park my car behind his big pick-up truck, and he grabs my bag and slings it over his shoulder. I hold his hand as we go up to the porch, and I gaze around me. He doesn’t live in the main part of the town like I do. He doesn’t have a dozen neighbors crowded into townhouses. Instead, he owns a cabin out here in the woods and the only noise are the crickets, the rustle of the pine branches, and the scratches of woodland animals as they forage for food.

I like it already.

Mal swings the door open, but instead of letting me in, he grabs me and swings me into his arms.

“What are you doing?” I cling to his neck.

“Taking my mate across the threshold.”

And really, how can a girl not melt at that? I give him a quick, smacking kiss, and he sets me down. I get a good look at the inside of Mal’s place. It’s a cabin, of course, with rustic furniture and masculine trappings. But more than that, every inch of the place is covered with Mal’s gorgeous wood carvings. There’s a soaring eagle over the fireplace. One corner of the room has a half-carved bear. The nearby table is littered with smaller figures—badgers, beavers, bear cubs, otters, whatever’s popular with the shops. I know he supplies the local tourist places with carvings, and it’s amazing to me how he can manage to squeeze that much art and talent into a bit of wood.

“The place is a mess,” Mal grumbles and swipes a coffee mug off a nearby table. “Wasn’t expecting anyone.”

“It’s perfect,” I tell him. And it is. From ceiling to floor, this place is all Mal, and I love it.

For the first time in forever, I feel like I’m home.
