He leaned forward to softly brush her lips. “And the best is yet to come.”

As she pulled back, she arched an eyebrow at him.

“I still owe you that surprise.”

“Oh, right. You’re still going to move forward with that, huh?”

“You bet.” He rubbed her cheek with his thumb. “Get ready for a lifetime of sweet surprises.”

“I could get used to that,” she said with a smile, leaning forward for another kiss when a knock at the door interrupted them.

“If we ever stop getting interrupted,” he grumbled before he yelled, “Come in!”

Worthington pushed into the room. “Terribly sorry to interrupt but I thought Mrs. Harrington would like to know that Mr. Stone is preparing to depart.”

“Oh,” Julia said with a wince, “I should talk to him before he goes.”

“Absolutely. Please tell him thank you from me again. And let him know I should have this sorted out soon and will be looking to buy Harrington Global back.”

“I’ll let him know,” she said before she kissed his cheek and pulled away.

He reluctantly let her go, staring after her as she disappeared from his office before he sank into his desk chair.

“Drink, sir?” Worthington asked as he crossed to the drink cart.

“Absolutely, and pour one for yourself, Worthington.”

The man delivered the bourbon to him, keeping a glass for himself.

Grant raised the glass in the air. “Sit down.”

Worthington eased into a chair and took a sip of his own drink. “It appears, sir, things will finally settle.”

“I really hope so,” Grant answered as he stared into the amber liquid. His lips curled into a smile as, for once, a strained reflection didn’t stare back. “Can you believe we made it to this point?”

“With Mrs. Knight, do you mean?”

Grant snapped his gaze up to Worthington. “No, with Julia. She’s here to stay. After two long years, she’s here for good.”

Worthington smiled at him. “Yes. I can tell you from the staff’s perspective, everyone is very happy about that, sir.”

“As am I. And Sierra. Even Kyle.” Grant stared into space as memories of his son floated through his mind. “We never would have gotten through any of this without her.”

“It seems she feels much the same way.”

Grant’s eyes fell on their wedding photo. “Well, she may say that, but…she wouldn’t have gone through any of it if she hadn’t accidentally walked into that nightclub to meet with Sierra, not me. But she saved this family. She changed our lives.”

He sipped his bourbon as he centered his gaze on his butler again. “And I am going to spend every day of the rest of our lives making sure she is duly rewarded for that.”

“It sounds like an excellent idea, sir.”

Grant smiled at him, allowing happiness to settle on him. As he reflected on the serendipitous meeting that had brought Julia into his life, he realized that every challenge, every moment of uncertainty, had led them to this point.

A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts.

“Hey, oh, sorry,” Alicia said as she stuck her head into the office, “I thought my sister was still here.”

“No, she went up to speak with Alex, but…come in, Alicia. I wanted to talk to you,” Grant said.
