They held each other for a long while, not talking, not even kissing. Just simply being there with—and for—one another. Nothing had ever felt so right as holding Rose in his arms, and RJ knew deep in his heart that it was where she’d be for the rest of their lives.

“If she loves you, she’ll be with you. If she loves Donovan, she’ll be with him. But if you don’t fight for her, then you’ll never know who she really loves.” All this time, RJ had been hanging back, not saying anything, hoping that Rose would somehow notice how much he loved her. But his brother was right; he couldn’t keep doing that.

Tomorrow morning, he’d let Rose hold the reins, but in the afternoon, RJ vowed that he was going to finally get a chance to show Rose who he thought she was. And maybe, just maybe, that version would include her loving him the way he’d always loved her.

What kind of guy was happy to come into work on a Sunday morning, when the rest of the city was still in bed? RJ was, at least when it was Rose asking for his help. He could no more keep away from her when she needed him than he could stop himself from thinking about her when he wasn’t near her.

I was just thinking, what if Vanessa McIntyre sees me standing with the two of you and decides that her son could do a lot better? And what if she decides that I urgently need the attentions of a couple of plastic surgeons, a team of beauticians, and at least one specialist in deportment before I’m allowed to marry Donovan?
