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.

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.

“Uh-huh.”

“He saved me once, and he’s always been so kind.”
