feeling…it felt so close to contentment that I could hardly breathe for the terror I felt. So I ran away and convinced myself it was the right thing to do.”
    “Devon, I need—”
    “When you called it was like lifting a curtain of misery I didn’t even know I was under. For the first time in six years I felt like maybe I stood a chance at the happiness I’d written off, like I could possibly have everything I always wanted but wouldn’t let myself have.”
    He takes a deep breath and grins, making my stomach dip and quiver with butterflies.
    “I sold some of my interests abroad and made some changes. The lads and I have bought a house here in Georgia, close to your parents but far enough away that we won’t have to worry about them turning up at all hours, and we’ve started decorating the nursery, and I even kitted out this little hobby room for you where you can knit and crotchet and do all those artsy things you enjoy doing.”
    “Dev.”
    He’s so excited about everything—a house, and he’s moved here! —that I feel dread unfurl deep within me when he drops down to his knees and takes my hands, looking up at me with so much affection and hope my heart aches.
    “I can love you, imp. I want to love you. I want to make love to you every night and watch you swell with our baby, and…and I want you to learn to love me back. I’m asking you, imploring you, to be a part of my family, brothers and all,” he whispers, kissing my hand with a smack of his lips.
    “Will you please marry me, Rebecca Slade? I promise you I will do everything in my power to deserve you.”
    I’m so shocked I don’t feel the tears pouring down my face. I don’t hear or see anything but his bright and hopeful face, till the door opens and Dillon walks in.
    “What the heck? What’s going on here, Becky?”
    Devon stands and scowls at him, his mouth thinning when he sees the key in Travis’s hand and the bunch of roses.
    “Who the fuck are you then?” he snarls, and I feel my vision blur when Dillon grins and points to my finger.
    “Her fiancé.”
