through.” She puts her hand on my cheek and I close my eyes, just feeling her touch.
    “What were the other things?” I raise an eyebrow at her and she urges me to continue.
    “Losing you and now finding out about losing Gracilyn.” Her name feels foreign on my tongue and I have a hard time thinking about it. All the emotions hit me like a ton of bricks, I have to take a deep breath before I can even look at her again. She grabs my hand, linking our fingers together in support. She can calm me unlike anyone else and I’m just thankful she isn’t a bitch trying to pour salt into the wounds.  
    “I’m sorry for all the pain I caused you over the years.” she whispers. Instead of saying anything to that, I lean forward and gently kiss her lips.  

    A little after seven, I feed Max and then take Lyndley home to her parent’s place. After we put ice on her leg, she was able to walk a little better and a lot of the swelling had gone down. When we pull up, I put my truck in park and look at the front window of her childhood home. I see her mom look out the window and watch us for a few moments.  
    “She must think I'm gonna attack you on the front porch like I used to,” I laugh. When I look over at her, she has a smile on her face, I love being the one who puts it there.  
    "Yeah. She probably thinks we ran off again,” she says, opening her door.  
    "She knows?" I ask looking back towards the house. I wonder what else she’s told her mom. I know they were really close, but hell I’m close with my momma and still haven’t even told her.  
    I see her nod out of the corner of my eye. "I'm sorry I told her. I just needed to talk to someone before I told you about the baby. It was the lesser of two evils.”
    "Well, we are still legally married, so I can kiss you whenever I want." Instead of giving her time to second guess it, I lean towards her, my hand grazing her perfect jaw and tangling my fingers in her hair. My tongue slips into her mouth. She lets me take control for a brief second before whatever is going through her mind catches up and puts the breaks on everything.
    She pulls away, and places a quick peck on my cheek. "Thank you for everything today. Sorry I kept you from the ranch. I would have been fine alone."
    "It was my pleasure. Plus, we got to talk about a lot of things that needed to be talked about. Thank you for being honest with me." She has a small smile on her face, it’s good to see her even the slightest bit happy, even if it's short lived
    "What's going to happen between us, Jax?" She looks down at the ground again and I can tell it’s because she’s nervous about the answer.  
    Smiling at her, I give it to her like it is. There are no if’s, and’s or but’s about it. I will be making her mine again. "Lyndley, you and I are going to get through this. Married. Lots of babies.”
    "You still want to be with me even after everything?"  
    Nodding at her, I lean into her body. "We can take it slow if you want, but it is gonna happen. I'm tired of waiting for us to figure it out." I crush my mouth to hers and kiss her deeply this time. I don’t let her pull away and I force her to stay in the moment with me. She has to know how much I love her. She finally pulls away and I smirk at her. “Let me help you out.”  
    I get out of the truck and go around to her side. She tries to get out on her own, but I stop her and lean in to whisper, "I'll do whatever you need me to do to make this work between us. I never should have let you leave that day. I won’t make that mistake twice. I know we still have some stuff to work out, but I only want you.”  
    “Okay…” Judging by the uncertainty in her voice, I think I stunned her. Well it’s probably for the best since she’s always saying how she doesn’t deserve me and that she isn’t the same girl from before. I’m going to prove her wrong. I’m going to make sure she is treated like the princess she is and always has
