“And one more thing…” Sebastian hesitated, his gaze fixed on her.

“What you told Bryce earlier–about marrying me and having kids–was that just to upset him, or did you mean it?”

“He’s not worth lying to just to upset him,” Riley replied without missing a beat.

Sebastian’s eyes lit up. So she meant it. She really meant

1. it.

“When?” he asked, barely containing the eagerness in his

voice.

Riley blinked. “When… what?”

“When do you want to marry me and have kids?” he pressed.

“We should probably let our relationship settle a bit more first,” Riley said carefully. “Besides, I need to head to the border soon to look for my brother.”

“Riley,” he said, voice low and certain, “sometimes knowing someone is right for you isn’t about time. I already know–you’re the only person I want for the rest of my life.”

He took her hand, pressed it flat to his chest so she could feel the rapid thud of his heart. “What about me? Am I the person you want?”

His lips kept moving, each word deliberate. “I want to marry you. I want cute babies with you. I want… all of it.”

Maybe marriage and children were the only way he knew to hold her close–just as his father had once done to his mother.

Bryce sat with his arm swathed in bandages, a splitting headache pounding behind his eyes as Amanda and Claire droned on with their complaints.

“Bryce, Mom’s and my case is going to trial soon, and those lawyers we hired are useless. You need to find us one of those big–shot attorneys who never lose.”

“Exactly! We can’t go to prison–if we do, we’ll never be able to show our faces back home! You have to get more money so we can hire someone good,” Amanda piled on.

cash is tight, you still have all those shares. Just land a few projects and-”

“Claire, are you really that naive?” Bryce snapped. “You think projects just fall from the sky? How many big companies have gone under from cash flow problems?

“And those shares–if I could actually sell them, do you think I’d be stressing like this? Once the company folds, they’ll be worth nothing.”
