I shrugged, avoiding his eyes. “I can’t help it. She’s all alone.”
“You were all alone, too. Natalie will be fine. She has a very supportive family.”
I nodded. “Can’t you set her up with one of your friends?”
He sighed and shook his head. “I can try.”
I felt a rush of affection for my boyfriend and I held him tightly against my chest. “Thanks. I love you.”
His lips, soft against my cheek, raised a thrill inside me. I melted into his touch, bewildered by my love for him. I could never understand how he made me feel so complete. Luke helped me mend the hole in my heart. I didn’t think I would ever be afraid of anything again.
“I love you, too.”
