“And?” I ask, a bubble of excitement welling up inside me as Ty ushers me up the stairs.
“Well, we think we found the perfect place,” Bray finishes for Ty when we reach the stoop.
“Really? Where?”
Bray waves his hand. “Right here.”
I gasp. I’ve always loved this home, admired it when we all visited Mrs. Jackson. But it was never for sale.
I look left at Bray then right at Tyler. “What’s going on?” My heart sinks. “Has something happened to Mrs. Jackson?” She has been a patient of mine, but at seventy she has been as fit and healthy as a thirty-year-old.
“No, no,” Ty says quickly. “She’s moving in with her daughter in Arizona. She’s there now, getting herself settled, and we’re going to pack the place up for her.”
I exhale a relieved breath. “Really?”
“She knows how much you love it, Aly, so she wanted to give us the first chance at it.”
My heart beats faster. “Oh my God. You’re kidding me. I love it. I’ve always wanted to live here.”
“Then it’s yours,” Bray says.
“It’s ours,” Ty says. “My family can visit and your family can visit. All at the same time if they want.” Bray reaches for my hand to guide me inside, but I plant my feet and stop. Worry mars Bray’s features as he assesses me.
“Are you okay?” Ty asks, his brown eyes moving over my face with concern. God, I love how sweet and caring he is.
“Aly, what is it?” Bray asks and puts his arm around me.
“Well, this house…it’s so big, with so many rooms. It’s too big for just the three of us.”
“You think so?” Ty asks.
“Yeah, I do, which is why…”
“Why what?” Bray says, worry in his tone.
“Why I think we need to fill it with a few kids someday.” I touch Bray’s face. “And give you the family you’ve always wanted.”
Tears form in Bray’s eyes, and I know how happy I’ve just made him. He stands perfectly still as Ty picks me up, plants a warm kiss on my lips, and spins me around.
“A few,” Ty begins. “Or seven or eight or more.”
“Slow down, Ty,” I say laughing. “Just one or two at a time.”
He laughs and sets me down. I turn to Bray, and his chest is rising and falling erratically. “Thank you,” he says. “Thank you for giving me everything I’ve always wanted.”
He pulls me into his arms for a tight hug. “I love you,” I whisper. From behind Ty hugs me, the love we all have unlike anything I’ve ever known. I eventually found out it was Reese who sent me here, and why. After much research, she found out the stockbroker, my hot patient from the hospital, slowed his pace and moved to Antigua to become a bed and breakfast owner and cockle fisherman with his best friend. She set this whole thing up with a plan in mind, and I got way more than I ever bargained for. “And thank you both, for giving me…everything.”
Bray breaks the hug, his grin devilish. “I think it’s time to christen all the rooms.”
“Really?”
Ty picks me up again, and Bray kicks the door closed behind us.
“Yep,” Bray says and races toward the stairs. “I’m damn well ready to get started on that.”
Ty and I laugh. “I love that guy,” Ty says as Bray takes the stairs two at a time.
“He’s quite the catch,” I say and give Ty a loving kiss. “So are you.”
