“And I thought about our marriage. About how lonely I was and especially what I did wrong, like not making friends.
“And I asked myself whether, honestly, I could do it again, whether I could survive that lifestyle this time. And I realized I could.”
“Jordan-”
“No, wait.” She needed him to understand. “Remember how I told you about my job, about the elderly people I work with? How they aren’t afraid of dying? They don’t focus on the negative part, on the short time they have left. They celebrate what they do have, their moments together, and they live each day as a gift.
“And maybe I won’t like having you gone in the summer, but it won’t bother me like it did before.” She would have her work to fill her time, dogs to rescue, and maybe someday, another child.
She shrugged. “I don’t know why it seemed so hard before. Maybe we just didn’t talk enough. Maybe I was too young, and I didn’t really know who I was.
“But I’ve changed. I’m not the same person I used to be. I’m stronger.”
“Yeah.” He stroked the line of her jaw, scorching her with his heat. “But I still don’t mind changing jobs.”
“I know. And maybe someday you should. But I fell in love with a smokejumper.” She understood that now. It was part of his identity, who he was, a man who risked his life to fight fires. She held his gaze. “And I don’t want you to change who you are.”
His gaze sizzled into hers, sparking that hot, slow burn in her blood. “You’re sure?”
“Absolutely.”
“So you’ll marry me again?”
“Oh, yes.” He had her heart and soul forever. “And this time, I’m here to stay.”
