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.

“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.
