away from Nicole for much longer than one night. He wasn t his cousin, though, and he wouldn t
allow himself to think about it. It was a good thought, at least.
I feel like a freaking third wheel around you and Drew now, Ryan said, feeling a little bit sorry
for himself. He loved his cousins spouses, but both of them were over the moon with happiness. He
felt like they were sharing some great secret he couldn t possibly understand.
I ll see if Drew and Trinity want to join me on the trip. I don t think Trinity s ever been to Rome
either. I don t know if I can drag them away from the kids, though.
Yeah, yeah. You guys can all come and throw your happiness in my face, Ryan grumbled. He
may have been complaining, but he d be happy to have his family come and see one of his projects.
All joking aside, I think you have something special with Nicole. Take my advice and let down
your defenses, and maybe you ll get that same sappy look on your face, Derek told him.
I ll pass on that.
Yeah, that s what I said too. Let s see if you last as long as I did, Derek said, with a knowing
look on his face. Derek took off, and Ryan tried to put Nicole out of his mind while he started
focusing on his project. He really did enjoy Rome. It was a beautiful place, and the project he was
taking on was the biggest and oldest he d worked on yet. It would consume him wholeheartedly,
which was a good thing.

Ryan slammed the hammer down with far more force than was needed. He d been on the job for
over a month, and sitting at a desk, behind the scenes, wasn t even enough to quell his bad mood. He
couldn t believe he was still unable to get Nicole out of his mind. He d even called her several times,
making up excuses, but the real reason was just to hear her voice. He was going home that day. He
couldn t take being apart from her any longer. He still reassured himself he simply needed to get her
out of his system.
His family had shown up and been suitably impressed with his project, but even the normal joy he
felt in restoring a historic site was gone. He d taken a few days off to tour the city with his family, but
his smile had been fake, and his joy had been subdued. He continued to hammer away his frustration,
and when he bent yet another nail, he decided to call it a day.
He was ready to head home and take back what was his. He couldn t get her off his mind, so the
next best thing was to go home and see where things were going to lead. He had a real problem,
though, because he d gotten really attached to Patsy. Hell, she was still a kid, even if she was a
teenager.
The first time she said I love you to him, so casually, his heart had jumped into his throat. There
was no way he wanted to kick her out of his home. She seemed to be doing so well, and her grades
were thriving. He refused to think about any of that right then. His only thought was getting home and
taking Nicole to his bed, where she belonged.

Nicole stretched as the sunlight filtered through the window, waking her up. She d been living at
Ryan s for three months, and she d fallen in love with the place. He d been gone over the past month,
and she d never admit it, but she missed him like crazy. He d called her a few times, and she got off
the phone aching to be held by him again. She was angry with herself for being so weak.
Her room was a dream and larger than her old apartment. She lay there, enjoying the softness of
the mattress, and yet being in it alone filled her with a sense of emptiness. She couldn t believe how
attached she d gotten to Ryan again in such a short amount of time. She figured she d never really
stopped loving him in the first place, and being around him again was like a knife through her heart.
Nicole jumped from her bed, quickly showered, got dressed and headed outside. She spent every
moment she could outside when the weather allowed. The morning was starting off beautiful and
warm, which was highly unusual for Seattle, home of the rain.
She took off down one of the trails on a jog, enjoying the little bit of heaven not far outside of the
city limits. When she jogged along the trail, she felt like she was in a park instead of a yard. She ran
out of steam quickly, which was normal lately, and she didn t understand it. She was used to going
and going day in and out and didn t know why her energy levels had been so depleted lately. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
