Dead Women Tell No Lies
Page 31
Tears burned her eyes.
His fingers wove through hers, linking them together. “Will you give us a chance?”
She inched away from him and swallowed the lump in her throat. For the first time since she’d left Ledgeview, she felt the dizzy feeling of hope. “First, I have to say something.”
“What you’re going to say can’t be that bad. Is it?” Doubt tinged his voice, and he lifted one brow.
“I love you, Luke.” Tears spilled down her cheeks, but she had to finish. “I’m not an expert myself on the girlfriend role, but…” Her throat tightened. She couldn’t speak. She could only show him what was in her heart. She slipped her arms around his neck and kissed him with all the passion she could muster, willing him to understand the words she wanted to say. Finally she broke off the kiss. “I don’t want us to be apart either.”
He gave her a broad smile, keeping a firm grip on her. “I’m taking that as a yes to my question.”
Rose’s pulse increased and she slipped her arms around his waist. “A Blue woman finally chose the right man.”
The butterfly circled above their heads and disappeared on the breeze.
