Enda swept her hair away from her face. “Cara mia, Olivier loves you. You did what you had to do to survive. He knows you did the right thing.”

“He’s grieving, though?”

Ama sighed. “I can’t wait to get out of here.”

“The minute we do, I’m marrying you.”

Ama laughed. “Well, you’d better.”

Ama felt her heartbeat quicken. “How many?”Months,she asked silently, and the doctor nodded.

“Three.” And she grinned. Ama burst into tears, smiling through them. Enda was utterly confused.
