“I will until I buy us a house. Wait… after the case is over, will you live here or D.C.?”

She thought for a moment. “I wasn’t planning on it, but I guess here since you have Gabe and Autumn living here and they’re your best friends.”

I kissed her lips. “Then yes, I’ll live with them until I buy us a house. I’m sure they’ll let me and if not, rent’s cheap here.” I laughed.

“Are you sure you’re okay with me going back undercover?”

“Do I have a choice?” She shook her head. “Then I have to be. Can I be your bodyguard?”

She threw her head back and laughed. “Well, actually—”

Before she could finish, the doorbell rang.

“Who’s that?” I asked.

She smiled brightly and jumped out of bed. “That’s who I thought was going to be here when I answered the door and it was you.”

I scrunched my eyebrows at her as she hurried and threw on clothes.

“You’ll probably want to get dressed to meet him.”

“Him?” I asked.

“Yep,” she yelled as she ran out of the room.

I hurried and pulled on my jeans. As I walked down the stairs, I put my T-shirt back on. I could hear her laughing the closer I got, and when I turned to go into the living room, I met the eyes of a man I’d never seen before.

“Paul, this is Seth. Seth this is—”

“Her fiancé,” I clarified.

He turned to her. “Fiancé?”

I pulled her to me and kissed the top of her head.

“A lot has happened since I moved to Vegas.” She smiled up at me.

“Apparently.” He laughed. “Well, let’s pop the champagne and you two can tell me all about it before we dive into why I’m here.”

The End… for now.
