Double Dip Dilemma: A Cozy Mystery (Caesars Creek Mystery Series Book 5) by Constance Barker Read Free Book Online

that letting go doesn’t mean giving up. If I hadn’t let go of my marriage when I knew it was dying, I would never have the man sitting beside me today. I knew in my heart Brandon was my destiny. I wasn’t for sure if he felt the same way though. We’d found a comfortable groove that suited us both, but I wanted more. I wanted the home with the picket fence and someone to grow old with.
     
    However, maybe Brandon was content with how things were. Maybe he’d never want to move past where we were. I felt my stomach churn with the realization that this may be it for us. Perhaps I would have to take me own advice and just accept our relationship for what it was.
     
    As the fire turned to embers and the cold night set in, I gathered up Winchester and Brandon and I made our way to his truck. He opened the passenger side door and I scooped Winchester inside. Before I knew it, Brandon put his arms around me and turned me around to face him.
     
    “Do you know how beautiful you look in the moonlight?”
     
    I put my arms around him. “You’re such a charmer.”
     
    He took my face in his hands and said, “I love you Tara. I want you to know that.”
     
    I could feel tears well up in my eyes. “I love you too Brandon.”
     
    We kissed under the moonlit sky.
     
    My stomach no longer churned. I told myself to be patient. Baby steps.
