Maja felt the restlessness within her subside as she admired the ring. In the quiet of the bedroom, she couldn't resist glancing at it again and again.
Though it didn't send her heart racing, she could at least sleep now.
She turned over and took another peek.
Then turned again for yet another look.
When Ian climbed into bed, he saw her fixated on the ring.
He had finished his nightly routine, scrubbing off the day's smell of smoke.
With one arm, he enveloped her, preventing her from rolling around the bed any further.
"It's getting late. Let's get some shut-eye, okay? We've got that appointment with Dr. Herrington tomorrow, remember?" he said softly.
Maja instantly stilled, nestling into his embrace.
"Ian, Dr. Herrington is a really good guy."
"Uh-huh."
"He saved me once, and he's always been so kind."
"Uh-huh."
"He's quite the genius too. Did you know he has an identical twin brother?"
Ian, who had begun to doze, snapped his eyes open at this, staring at the ceiling.
Realizing she might have said too much, Maja clamped her mouth shut.
"I'm rambling. Dr. Herrington said he doesn't have one."
"He said he doesn't?"
"Yeah."
Ian turned to look at her, a small chuckle escaping him, "Clever Phelps, outsmarted by his own cunning, huh?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
