His Amity, in his arms once more.

“I never stopped loving you, Amity. I forgive you. Please, please don’t ever leave me again.”

Then she sobbed against him, and he held her, as the drizzle turned to rain, as the cold liquid drenched them both, cleansing them, washing away their pain—leaving only hope.

And love.

Dane hugged the infuriating, fascinating, beautiful girl, and he knew if he had to, he’d go through this pain a thousand times over for this one moment.

His Amity in his arms, forever.

He smiled against her hair, chuckling with black humor. “Wanna help me unpack? Looks like I’ve got plenty of time on my hands now that my practice has gone bye-bye.”

“Your practice isn’t gone,” she murmured in a soft, watery voice.

“Kinda hard to have a practice without patients, girl. They locked me out of the database before I even got to the office this morning. It’s over.”

They’d likely been assigned to Vance, or maybe Johnson. Probably both. God help those poor patients.

She pulled away for a moment, wiping at the tears streaming down her face, her hand plunging into the pocket of her coat. “There’s more, sir.” She held up a little black flash drive. “The day before I quit, I copied part of the patient database. Just the names, numbers, and addresses—but it’s enough.”

He grinned at her. “Oh, Amity.”

She smiled up at him through her sniffles. “And I talked to Cathie too. There’s a whole bunch more couples—like Aaron and Lis. Cathie spread the word about what happened. They all want you as their doctor.”

Dane took the drive, turning it over in his hand, looking at Amity out of the corner of his eye. “This is highly illegal, you know.”

“I did good though, right?” She beamed at him, her puffy eyes bright and hopeful.

He wrapped a hand around the nape of her neck and pulled her up, kissing her, the feel of her soft, wet lips making him growl.

Mine.

“You did great, bad girl.”

“There’s one more thing I need to tell you, something I kept from you.”

Dane scowled down at her, pulling her tighter against his chest. “What is it? You know what happens to girls who lie, don’t you?”

Amity nodded, her big eyes wide.

“Spill it.”

“I turn twenty-five in January.”

“God, I remember twenty-five.” He stroked her hair, and she looked down, her hands spread over his chest. “Go on, girl.”

“I have a trust fund, and when I turn twenty-five, I take full control of it.” She gazed up at him with those beautiful brown eyes. “There’s three million dollars in it.”

He squeezed her tight, looking down upon her with an exaggerated frown. “I guess we need to have another discussion about little girls telling the truth, don’t we?”

A smile curved her pink lips, a shudder passing through her body.

“I can’t wait, sir.”
