They watched Sam lean down, pressing his lips to Glenna’s. “They belong together,” Brigid said, glancing sideways at Sister Evelyn. “And as you know, I have a knack for knowing where things belong.”

Sister Evelyn laughed. “Speaking of belonging together…” She nodded toward the man standing with Brennan and Finn at the helm. “I think you have an admirer.”

Neil Leary looked away quickly, blushing. Neil’s construction crew had been helping the islanders rebuild the village. As it turned out, Brigid had found a use for his business card after all. “He seems like a good man,” Brigid said wistfully. “But I’ve already had my love.”

“So has he,” Sister Evelyn said quietly. “From what I understand, he lost his wife several years ago.”

“I don’t think—”

Sister Evelyn squeezed Brigid’s hand. “There are many different kinds of love in this world. Sometimes, the ones that burn brightest are the most fleeting. But a love that grows slowly, building on trust and companionship, can be just as powerful if you give it a chance.”

 

 

SAM DRAPED HIS
arm around Glenna as they gazed out at the sea, sparkling in the sunlight. “Have you had any more ideas about how you want to rebuild your house?”

“Actually,” Glenna said slowly, “I was thinking I might like to live in the village.”

“In the village?”

“I’ve always lived on the outside. Even here, on the island, I separated myself. I didn’t believe that I belonged.” She looked up at him. “I do now.”

Sam tugged her gently to him, laying his lips on hers. They’d been dancing around the subject for weeks as they’d split their time between Sam’s cottage and Glenna’s flat in Dublin. But the rest of the homes on the island were almost rebuilt now. It was time to consider what their future together might look like.

She pulled back, tucking her windblown hair behind her ear. “What about you?” she asked, trying to act casual. “Are you still comfortable in the caretaker’s cottage?”

“Sure.” Sam lifted a shoulder. “It suits me. I have everything I need.”

Glenna looked up at him and when he smiled innocently down at her, she narrowed her eyes. “You’re going to make this difficult for me, aren’t you?”

His eyes twinkled. “Have I ever made anything easy for you?”

“No.”

“Well…?” Sam asked as the ocean lapped at the hull of the ferry. “Do you have something you want to ask me?”

“I’m starting to rethink my decision,” Glenna muttered.

“That’s too bad.” Sam’s shoulders shook with laughter as she glared up at him. “Because I’ve been working with Caitlin on plans for our cottage for two months.”

“What?” Glenna pulled back. “
Our
cottage? When were you planning to tell me?”

“When you asked me to move in with you.”

Glenna shook her head, but she couldn’t help smiling. “You drive me crazy. Do you know that?”

“Good.” Sam brushed her hair aside and started nibbling his way up her neck. “Because I plan to continue driving you crazy for the rest of your life.”
