“You remember the accident? How?”
“I don’t know. My purse fell off the seat, and everything, including my phone, dumped on the floor. I heard my phone ding, so when I stopped at the traffic light, I unbuckled my seatbelt and reached for it.” Tears filled my eyes. “I heard the loud crash, and then everything went black. I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt, Conner.” Tears streamed down my face.
“Oh, babe.” He wrapped his arms around me.
“This head injury may not have happened had I left my seatbelt on.”
“Don’t. Do not blame yourself. This was not your fault.” His grip around me tightened, and his lips pressed against my head.
“I’m so sorry.” I sobbed.
“You have nothing to apologize for.” He held me tight as I drifted back to sleep.
The alarm went off and woke both of us up. Conner reached over, shut it off, and placed his arm around me.
“You better get up,” I said. “You don’t want to keep your brothers and cousins waiting.”
“I’m not leaving you. Go back to sleep.” He snuggled against me.
I removed his arm and threw back the covers.
“Well, I’m leaving you.” I climbed out of bed.
“What? What the hell? Get back in this bed.”
“Nah. I’m awake now. So, you can either go back to sleep or go hit the waves with your family.” I pulled his board shorts from the drawer and threw them at him.
I went down to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. When Conner walked in, I stood up against the island with a smile on my face.
“I love you.” He walked over and kissed my lips.
“I love you too.” I smiled as he opened the sliding door.
He stopped, looked at me, and closed the door. Walking over to where I stood, he grabbed my face and smashed his mouth against mine.
“Say it again.” A grin crossed his lips.
“I love you, Dr. Conner Kind.”
“Damn right, you do.” He winked and walked out the sliding door.

Conner
Hearing her say those three words to me again made me feel like I was on top of the world. I grabbed my board and paddled out to where my brothers and cousins were.
“There you are,” Nathan said.
“What the hell, Kind?” Simon asked.
“I wasn’t even going to come, but Charlotte made me.”
“What’s going on? Up too late having sex?” Christian grinned.
“Well, yeah.” I smiled. “She had a memory in the middle of the night, and I couldn’t wake her up.”
“What was her memory?” Jackson asked.
