CHAPTER ELEVEN

At the top of the cliffs, Nicholas felt his own heart beat faster as he saw how ecstatically, joyously alive Rachel looked, despite the fall she'd taken halfway through the climb.

“Everything looks so beautiful from up here, doesn’t it?”

“It does,” he agreed, “especially when you get up here the hard way.”

But the view wasn't anywhere near as beautiful as Rachel. He was so proud of her. She’d been so determined. Anyone else who hadn’t climbed in years would have let him lower them down to ground level after the fall. But not Rachel.

Even more incredible was how she managed to combine her strength of spirit with being a mother. She’d done so well bringing up her little girl, creating such a safe, loving family for Charlotte.

“Are you ready to abseil back down now?” Nicholas asked.

“Yes, I think I've gotten my breath back enough now to head back to the bottom.”

Most people he worked with didn’t pay the kind of attention she did while he ran through the basic techniques for getting back down the cliff wall. And the look on Rachel’s face as she stepped backward and deliberately pushed off into the air was so beautiful that he knew he would have lost control and kissed her just then if only he'd been able to fly through the air beside her.

The route down didn’t take anywhere near as long as climbing up, and Rachel skipped easily from push-off point to push-off point. She was smiling broadly as they reached the bottom, not seeming to care at all that the cameras were on her, her happiness so big that he swore he could almost feel it inside of himself, too.

“That was great,” Rachel said while Nicholas unclipped her. “Really, really great.” She was practically bouncing in place.

He hoped she would want to celebrate her great achievement of climbing up the cliffs, because he was still on top of his own adrenaline rush. One that had far less to do with the climbing than it had to do with being near Rachel.

“We got some truly amazing shots!” Morgan said from her spot by the camera. “Although when you came away from the wall and started falling, Rachel, I almost had a heart attack.”

“I was always safe,” Rachel assured her. “Nicholas had me.”

That was true, but it felt great to hear her say it...and to also hear a brand new note of trust in her voice.

“Even so, you gave me a fright,” Morgan said as she gave her sister a hug. “Come on, let’s head back to my place and celebrate another good shoot. With copious quantities of cough medicine, in my case.”

Nicholas smiled, because he’d been close to suggesting the same thing. But his smile faded a little when Rachel glanced at her watch and said, “I'd love to, but I have to go pick up Charlotte.”

“In that case, maybe you can give me a ride back, too?” Nicholas suggested. He didn’t want his time with her to end yet, and he knew his film crew would be busy working on edits for the rest of the afternoon.
