The day in Charlotte had been lovely, if cold. From the moment Jace and Noelle climbed in the truck and left Asheville, they’d had a great time.

They spent the two-hour drive through rural and gorgeous North Carolina talking about everything and nothing, never once having anything that felt like an awkward moment. With each passing mile, they shared memories, experiences, viewpoints, and many, many laughs.

Then, in the bustling town, they’d gone from one high-end store to another, looking for Chanel gloves. Dependable, charming Jace in his flannel and country-boy smile had been a fish out of Nieman-Marcus waters, but they’d had fun searching for the perfect accessory, especially now that Noelle knew the dress.

They had lunch, did a little touring, and took a drive by Eve’s house. She’d texted a picture to Eve, who offered to give them the code to get in, which was tempting. But Jace saw in the forecast that there was a lot of snow on the way, so they opted to get back on the highway and drive home before it got too heavy.

“Well, we should go try to visit Eve’s house at some point,” Noelle said as they rolled along the highway. “They won’t be there long. She said she and David found an open house for a new build in Hendersonville that they’re going to see tomorrow.”

“Wow, they really are making this move,” Jace said, shaking his head as he flipped the windshield wipers faster as the snow fell. “But that house we drove by was really nice. Whatever they get for it, they can buy something great in Hendersonville.”

“He won’t have a brain surgeon’s income, though,” Noelle reminded him.

“Huh.” Jace shot her a look. “Look at that. Guy’s changing his whole career, even taking what some might consider a step down professionally, all for love. Imagine that.”

She smiled, the not-so-subtle message heard loud and clear.

“And for a baby that he wants,” she added.

“And to be close to family,” Jace said. “Bitsy and Sonny, not to mention Angie and Brooke, right?”

Noelle looked at her phone, reading the last text. “Maybe. Angie is currently tearing the cabin upside down and inside out again, determined to find a secret hiding place for the deed. Apparently, Garrett Delacorte was extremely not nice.” She gave a dry laugh. “Angie used words that I don’t often hear her say to describe the man.”

“If she finds the deed—even if she doesn’t—you can add her to the long list of loved ones living in Asheville and the surrounding area.” He gave her a sly smile. “Did you happen to notice that I included myself as a loved one?”

She reached for his hand, threading their fingers. “Oh, I noticed, Dr. Fleming.”

“Shhh. Don’t jinx it.”

“Jinx what?”

“Cassie and I have a joke that as soon as we mention my being a vet when we’re out doing something fun, an emergency call comes in. So we never jinx it.”

That made her laugh. “I love that kid,” she said on a sigh.

“See? There’s that word again.
