The cabin in Virgin River might be ready, but Mel sure wasn’t. The baby at Doc’s was keeping her in town for now, but it was impractical to think of her caring for Chloe out at the cabin—there was onl...
Thank you, for matching me for stubborn. I’m not all together about this, she said. This is really hard. When you get closer to home, you’ll start to feel good about being with all of them. They were...
She tsked so that he would know she found him stupid without coming right out and saying so. Okay, I said I was sorry. That he was right and I’m sorry. After he cleaned your clock, I assume.... Well,...
She took one look at me and fireworks shot out of her ears. I think she hates me. At least, she’s still mad. But it could mean she still cares, he added hopefully. If I knew where to run into her agai...
She reached out a hand and touched the hair at his temple. You’re getting a little gray here. Big surprise. I really didn’t know you’d be such a handful. I’m the best thing that ever happened to you....
She reached her fingertips up to the hair at his temples. You’re showing a little gray here. Not much, but a little. I suppose I did that to you. Probably. But I’m very tough—I can take it. Oh,
She had spent a very long night thinking about her husband. He had so many faces; a fierce and dangerous expression for an enemy, a threat. A soft and tender expression when he turned his eyes to her....
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies—Nelson Mandela. Enough,
People tend to treat a miscarriage like a heavy period but it’s a death. You lost your baby. You have to take time to grieve.
No reason to be afraid of Nick, Jack said. I could take you down there and introduce you, threaten to sic my wife on him if he steps out of line. I bet one knee in the nuts straightens him right out,...
My mind hasn’t felt this peaceful and calm in years. We’ll make the most of the time you’re here. He gave her lips a little kiss. I was so angry when I first faced you. I’m not angry anymore. You made...
Jack was frowning darkly. A couple of the brothers-in-law, Dan and Ryan, came forward and said, Need a hand unloading, Jack? Yeah, he said, his brows drawn together. What’s the problem? Ryan asked. I...
Jack renovated the cabin without being asked, while I stayed at Doc’s house, Mel said. About the time I was going to make a break for it, he showed it to me. I said I’d give it a few more days. Then m...
If she left, he was going to lose his mind. If she stayed, he was going to lose his mind. She
I want to tell you something, he said. I asked your sister all about your husband. Mark. You did? Yep. I understand he was a great man. A brilliant man—and kind. He did a lot of good in the world, and...
I should’ve called her, he told Hannah. That was stupid, not calling. It would have given her a good four hours to think. But see, when I thought about taking you home, it was obviously a bad idea. Ju...
I retired from the army. Her eyebrows shot up. Like my uncle! No, not like your uncle. Like a warrant officer, helicopter pilot. Jack said your uncle is a retired three-star. A whole different thing,...
I know that any man who cared about you would have made it his business to find you a long time ago. I would have. If I thought you had any feelings for me whatsoever, I’d tear up the country looking...
I haven’t seen you in a couple of days. Are you avoiding me again? I should, but I haven’t been. I’ve had stuff going on. Does the general know you’re doing this? he asked. Of course. They’re his hors...
I don’t know what to say. You just accept everything. You’re amazing. I thought you might be very pissed. Nah. The only thing that disappoints me is that it took me this long to find you. Even with al...
