“You already made my dreams a reality. You love me, nobody has ever loved me before,” Juliet said, as tears trailed slowly down her cheeks. “Never again will you lack for people in your life who love you. My parents and sisters are going to adore you. My team and their wives already do. You’re going to have an extended family who would go to the ends of the earth for you.” “You already have. You came for me in Angola, you came for me in Russia, and I never doubted for a second that you would. I love you, Grayson, always.” “I’m always going to be there for you, princess. Even when we fight you’ll know that I love you, that nothing could or would ever make me leave your side.”

“A blanket was draped over her naked body. Someone took her arm and started an IV. Through it all she just locked her gaze on Grayson. If she was going to die then she wanted his face to be the last thing she saw. “You hold on, okay, princess,” Grayson said, taking her face between his hands. His hands were red, stained with her blood, and she hated that this would be his last memory of her. “Sorry,” she whispered. Breathing was starting to become a challenge. She wasn’t sure she could keep her eyes open much longer. “Don’t give up on me, princess, don’t you dare even think about it. You hold on, okay? You fight this. Keep breathing and trust me to get you to help.” “Do trust you,” she murmured. “I know, baby.”

“Until finally her lashes fluttered against her pale cheeks, and the hand he held in his gave the faintest of squeezes. “Juliet? Hey, princess, can you hear me?” She gave a tiny nod, barely discernible. If he hadn't been looking for a response he would probably have missed it. “Wake up for me, princess, let me see those pretty green eyes of yours.” A small smile tugged up the corners of her lips, and he couldn’t resist leaning down and touching his lips to hers in a soft kiss. “Come on, cat burglar, you’ve been sleeping long enough now,” he teased. Juliet’s tongue darted out and wet her bottom lip, and then she rasped, “Didn’t steal anything, wasn’t going to, get that through your thick head.” Chaos laughed, the weight of worry lifting”

“I’m going to tell you a really important lesson I learned after Emily died. I thought I knew what it was to be part of a team. I was in the army, joined Delta, I trusted my team with everything, and knew they had my back no matter what. Then I lost my wife and was the sole parent to a newborn. Lolly was my responsibility, and I took that seriously. I tried to juggle everything myself. Funeral arrangements, caring for Lolly, taking care of the house, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, midnight feeds, and a colicky baby. I thought I had to do it all and didn’t want to accept help from anyone. You know what eventually happened?” “What?” “I crashed. Two months after Lolly was born, I was cooking dinner, lay down for just a moment, and woke up an hour later to someone hammering on my apartment door. Dinner burned which set off the smoke detectors, the fire department came, and I realized that raising my daughter wasn’t a mission I could undertake without my team. I needed my parents, needed Bear and the rest of Alpha team, needed Prey and the Oswalds. So, I reached out for help.”

“You're a man who has made mistakes, who hasn’t always done the right thing, even done some things you're ashamed of, but in the end you are a good man. Remember that and move forward, don’t forget that if there are parts of yourself you don’t like, you can change them. Become better, do better, expect better of yourself. Be the person you want to see looking back at you in the mirror.”

“you waiting for you to wake up.” Picking up her hand he cradled it in his, needing the contact to reassure himself that she was alive and going to be okay. The doctor’s idea of soon and his differed greatly. In the end it took Juliet’s exhausted body close to four hours to emerge from sleep. After the first hour, he’d gone looking for a doctor or nurse, concerned that something was wrong because she hadn't woken up. After reassurances that everything she’d been through had taken a toll on her mind and her body, and that Juliet would wake up when she was ready, he’d resumed sitting beside her, talking to her about the future they’d have and waiting. And waiting. And waiting.”

“Being strong isn’t always about winning, it's about surviving. And you did that. You survived. Now it's time to heal,”

“Princess, there is nowhere in this world that you could go where I wouldn’t follow you.” One of his hands stroked her tangled hair, and then he leaned down and touched his lips to her forehead. Someone dropped down on her other side, but Juliet couldn’t take her eyes off Grayson. She watched as he took bandages and pressed them to the wound in her stomach. It hurt less this time when he rolled her onto her side to do the same with the wound on her back. Her pain was fading, but along with it the rest of the world faded too. She was cold. Almost numb. Everything around her but Grayson’s face was blurry, in contrast it stood out in high definition. He was talking to someone, but she wasn’t sure who.”

“I feel like if I push too hard, I could lose her, but if I don’t let her know how I feel then I could lose her anyway.”
