“You know, I almost thought I wasn’t going to see you tonight.” Tate pulled her into his arms, kissed her. “I’m glad you’re feeling better.” Pause, another kiss. “And I’m glad you’re here.” That was an understatement. When he’d heard she’d gone home sick, he almost drove to Rose’s to check on her but stopped himself. Charlotte had made it clear she needed her space, and he wasn’t going to screw things up by crowding her. Not when everything was going so well between them. Okay, actually, things were great, really great.

The only piece of this relationship that could make life perfect was a commitment to each other, with “I love you’s” and “I do’s.” He was ready, had been ready since she drove back into town in that little sports car and manufactured a boyfriend to keep Tate away. Who would have thought she’d done that because she had feelings for him? Certainly not him, but when she confessed that truth, she’d given him hope that maybe they really could have something special—as in forever.

Who said Donovans and Alexanders didn’t belong together? Just because there’d been bad blood and twisted tales about the two families’ hatred for one another didn’t mean all matches between a Donovan and Alexander were doomed. It depended on the person, and he didn’t care what anyone else said—he and Charlotte belonged together. They both knew it and very soon the rest of the world would know it, too. Besides, the stories about the families’ bad blood were just that: stories, no doubt embellished over the years. People might say Camille and Carter’s rocky union was an example of why the families should never join, but that marriage was about to slip off the ledge because his uncle still didn’t understand the meaning of fidelity. Oh, his aunt had mentioned therapy and made roundabout comments about how his uncle was “behaving” but what did that mean? And how long would it last?

Tate didn’t want temporary or random with Charlotte. He wanted all-in and all-committed like he’d seen with Rogan and Elizabeth. Like he knew he and Charlotte could have.

“Tate? Can we talk?”

He pulled back, took in the pinched brows, the strain around her eyes. “What’s going on?” She shook her head, bit her bottom lip like she might start crying. “Talk to me.”

Was this about them? Had he moved too fast? Did she somehow sense he was about to ask her for long-term, as in forever? And was she hedging because she wasn’t ready? Or worse, because she didn’t want it? He’d gone slowly, looked for signals that she planned to stick around, and finally, they’d been there. But maybe they weren’t, maybe he’d only imagined them because he wanted to see them so damn bad. “Charlotte? You know you can tell me anything, don’t you?”

Her eyes filled with tears. “I know.” She clutched his hand, brought it to her lips and placed soft kisses on his knuckles. Almost reverent. “You’re a good man. Honest. Kind.
