Come Back for Me (Arrowood Brothers #1)(92)

“What?”

“I love you,” Connor says as his hand moves to my belly. “And I love you.”

“We love you more.”

“Not possible.”

We clean up and then head back to bed, where we tangle together. We’ve both been just lying here, enjoying the quiet and warmth of each other.

“What was up with Syd?” Connor asks, breaking the silence.

I think about my friend and what her head shake meant. “I think she has a lot on her mind.”

“My brother was weird on the phone today when I mentioned her.”

Yeah, well, they both might have a lot more weirdness if that test was positive. However, I don’t know if it was or wasn’t, so my not telling him isn’t exactly lying.

“Thank you,” I say after a moment.

“For what?”

“For loving me. For giving me a family. For giving me a life I only dreamed of.”

Connor’s lips press against the top of my head. “I’ll give you the world, Ellie.”

And I know he will because he already has.
