“You’ve got nothing on Dr. J.,” she said. She must have realized that his calm façade was really just that—a façade. “So Mrs. Auberly and Nina are at your house.”
He almost smiled. “My house?”
“Yeah. I figured I wouldn’t want to leave you in the middle of the night, so it seemed the best solution.”
Standing, he took her hand and pulled her in to him. “Awfully presumptuous of you.”
She raised both her eyebrows, “You think?” she said, smiling.
“Yeah. It was. You have something to say to me?”
Her smile faded. “I love you, AJ.”
“That’s my girl,” he said, right before he kissed her.
