Chapter 59: They're Together

Wyatt shifted off of Fiona, then came back to lie next to her. He nuzzled her neck, his hand resting on her stomach.

“I wish we could stay here forever,” he murmured.

“That would be glorious. Pretend that the world wasn’t out there. That nothing was wrong.”

“We’ll work it out, Fi. I promise.”

“How can you be so sure?” she said.

He groaned. “I just am. Trust me. I know that’s hard for you.”

He was right. She didn’t trust easily. Too many important people had let her down in life. Including Wyatt. He seemed as if he wanted to make that up to her.

She patted him. “We need to get to work.”

“Ever the practical one,” Wyatt said.

He kissed her cheek, then stood. He held out his hand, helping her up. He pulled her into his arms, his face against her neck.
