When he pulled away she had the most beautiful smile on her face, but his looked regretful.
"What is it?" she asked reaching up to smooth the furred brow of his.
"I have some bad news to give you."
"Nanna died yesterday when I was with my mother?" she guessed.
His eyes widened big as saucers and if her head didn't hurt badly, she would have laughed at the terrified look on his face. "How did you know?"
"Nanna was speaking with my mother when Lynne died."
"Are you mad you weren't at her side instead of your mother's?"
Nicole shook her head. "I'm glad I was there with my mother. Nanna wouldn't have wanted her to die alone and I think in a way, she knew her time had come. She was trying to make peace with everything and everyone."
"Did she make peace with me?"
Nicole nodded giving him a quick kiss. "She gave us her approval by telling me to give you what she could never give."
One brow lifted in inquiry. "And what could she have given me when I could buy anything I wanted?"
"Love."
That intense look on his face made her whole body tremble. Suddenly, he buried his face in her neck murmuring, "I don't deserve you, Nicole."
"You'll have a lifetime to make it up to me, Ethan." She pulled him in her arms and pressed her lips against his. His response was immediate.
"I love you, Nicole."
"And I you, Ethan."
