  The bridge over the Atlantic had been the location of so many memories for her; some wonderful and some still painful. But her heart had no intention of allowing her to live elsewhere. She was still drawn to the place after all these years, and no matter how long she was away from it—whether a week, a weekend, or just a day—she still felt the pangs of homesickness. The sense of relief when returning home and crossing the bridge toward the cottage still resonated deep within her.

  As she stood watching a fresh batch of snowflakes flutter to the ground, Greg walked into the room. She turned to face him as he carefully carried two steaming mugs, a look of concentration on his face. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee accompanied him.

  “There ya go, gorgeous. That should help clear away the wee cobwebs,” he said as he held the mug toward her. His broad Scottish accent still made her tingle.

  She smiled. “Thanks. I’m all sorted. The train leaves at eight. Do you think you could drive me to Oban if we ask Christine to look after the girls?” Driving in adverse weather conditions had terrified her since losing Sam, and Greg was far more experienced at driving than she was.

  He crossed the room, placed his cup on the nightstand, and took her face in his palms. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want you driving in this weather. You’re too precious. And the Landy will cope with the roads now that the snow tyres are fitted.” He leaned in and kissed her lips gently and she melted into him. He pulled away and tapped her nose with his finger. “Now you drink your coffee, get showered, and I’ll go light a fire. I’ll give Chrissy a call and see if she’ll come over ASAP.” He gazed down at her, a combination of adoration and worry in his eyes. “It’ll all be fine, you know. I can just… feel it.”

  “I hope you’re right,” she replied with a wavering voice. Knowing that Josie had suffered a previous miscarriage and how that had affected her friends so deeply played on her mind. They’d been through enough already. She wasn’t sure how they would get through this if it happened at such a late stage in the pregnancy.
