I tugged her close, holding one hand with mine on the crutch. “I’m sure you’ll find out. And we’ll do whatever we can to help them. Meantime, the condo is all ours.”

“I’m so embarrassed that Daniel heard us.”

“What can I say? I’m just that good.”

She poked me in the ribs. “It’s still embarrassing.”

“Now that he’s gone, we have to break in the rest of the rooms.”

“Break them in?”

I nodded. “We have to have sex in every room.”

“We do, eh? It’s a rule?”

“Oh yeah. I’m looking forward to that.”

She rolled her eyes, but her hand squeezed mine. She was on board.

I’d never have dreamed, back when this season started, that I’d be where I was now. And I hated being injured, missing games and not knowing where I’d be next season. But at the end of it all, I had Katie, and that made everything worth it.

I leaned over to kiss her, here where she’d kissed me to chase off a bunny. “I love you.” I didn’t want her to ever worry about another woman again.

Her lips quirked up. “I know.”

I waited. Still no ride outside, and Katie didn’t say it back.

“Come on. Tell me.” I knew it, but some part of me always wanted that reassurance from her.

She grinned more widely but put me out of my misery. “I love you, Josh Middleton.”

And all was right with my world.
