Maggie

Maggie might’ve still been in a mess, she might’ve had some troubling doubts about her relationship with Declan, but right now, she was on cloud nine million and nothing, nothing was going to dent that. She half wanted to find the nearest hilltop and sing on it.

Instead, she pounced on Declan when he came through the door. “Dr. Stevens just called me,” she said breathlessly, arms hooked around his neck after squeezing the life out of him with a hug.

She didn’t know where he’d been for the past two hours, but right now she didn’t much care. He was wearing the tired look of someone who’d been through a hard time and she didn’t want that, not when her own mood had rocketed skyward.

His drawn expression split into a smile. “Really?”

“Didn’t sound too happy about it,” she said, nodding, “but it seems he’s got no choice—I can go back tomorrow!”

He lifted an eyebrow. “You mean I don’t get to have you waiting at home for me every day anymore? I’m not sure about this.”

“Asshole,” she said with a laugh, tapping his cheek. He caught her hand and kissed it.

“Congratulations,” he said. “Although we knew he didn’t have enough on you to extend the suspension.”

“You might’ve been sure of it, but I definitely wasn’t. For a while there, I felt like I’d lost it all.”

“I know,” he murmured. “But it’s gonna be okay.” He kissed the tip of her nose and brushed the hair off her forehead. “Give it a couple weeks and this whole thing will just be a bad memory.”

“I hope you’re right.” God, did she hope.

“I’m always right.”

She grinned at him, before leaning away from his hold and clapping her hands together. “Let’s celebrate.”

“What did you have in mind?”

“Dinner. Italian. Wine,” she said, butterflies tickling her belly. She could hardly believe it—she was going back to work! “Well, one glass of wine. I can’t go in hungover tomorrow.”

“Takeout?”

“You kidding?” She laughed and shoved his shoulder. “You’re taking me out, baby.”

His eyes twinkled, gazing at her as if she was a vision. “I’ve missed this version of you,” he said softly, pulling her close again.

“Me too,” she admitted.

This was the first time she’d felt like her old self in such a long time that she wasn’t even quite sure if she could trust it, half afraid it would all rip away from her in an instant. But even those foreboding thoughts weren’t enough to dent her spirits and she let out another breathless laugh, floating high on giddiness while he looked at her with sparkling eyes. “I’m gonna head home to get ready. Pick me up in an hour?”

“Hmm, just one thing first—” he said, then kissed her soundly, backed her up until she hit the wall. The breath knocked out of her, and her mind spun as he wasted no time shoving her legs apart with his thigh. She could feel the crackle in the air, the moment it turned from fervent kissing to the start of something,
