tests with Elle and finally settled her in a hospital bed for the remainder of the night.
Kate leaned into Matt s hard frame, looking up at him. Thank you. I don t know what we would have
done if you, Jonas, and Jackson hadn t found her. She looks all cut up. There was a little catch in her
voice.
Matt immediately put his arms around her. I m taking you home. To my home, where you can get some
rest, Kate. Elle s in good hands, you ve kissed her ten times, and Libby s going to stay overnight with
her. She can t be safer than that. Jackson brought her car to your house and left it for her, so everything s
taken care of. Come home with me, Katie. Let me take care of you.
You need a shave, she observed, her hungry gaze drinking him in.

They walked together to his car, their steps in perfect harmony. Matt smiled because he loved being with
her more than anything else. He rubbed his jaw. You re right, I do. You re not only going to have
whisker burn on your face, but if I m not more careful, you ll have it other places too.
She blushed beautifully. I already do.
He opened the door for her, caught her chin before she could slide in. Seriously? Just the idea of it
made his body hard.
Kate nodded. It s nice to have a constant reminder. It was more than nice. Just the thought of how the
marks had gotten there made her hot with need.
Matt dragged her close to him, his mouth taking command of hers. It seemed far too long since he d
been able to kiss her. To have her all to himself. I want to get you home where I can put you into my
bed. I still have such a hard time believing you re with me.
She laughed. Imagine how I feel.
Kate leaned her head back against the seat of his car and looked at him, the smile fading from her face.
Matt, you shouldn t have wished on the snowglobe. It isn t an ordinary Christmas globe.
He glanced at her, then back at the road, his expression settling into serious lines. Nothing about you or
your family is ordinary, Katie. I knew what I was doing.
She opened her mouth to speak, shook her head, and stared out the window into the night.
Matt searched for something to say to reassure her. Or maybe it was he that needed the reassurance.
Kate was still resistant to the idea of a long-term relationship, and he wasn t certain he could change her
mind. He couldn t begin to explain the sense of rightness he felt when he drove up to his house with Kate
beside him. He sat in his car, looking up at the house with its bank of windows for the view, and the
wide, inviting decks going in every direction. I built this house for you. I even put in a library and two
offices, just in case you wanted your own office. I asked Sarah a few years ago, when I first came back,
if you had a preference where you wrote, and she said you preferred a room with a view and soft music.
I added a fireplace just in case you needed the ambience.
Kate blinked back tears, leaned over, and kissed him. What could she say? Everyone in town knew
Sarah. Sarah was magic. She could scale cliff walls and she knew things before they happened. She
could leap out of airplanes and climb tall buildings. Sarah lived her life. She didn t dream the way Kate
did or live in her imagination.
Matt took her hand and pulled her out of the car. I soundproofed your office so the noise wouldn t
bother you.
What noise? She knew better than to ask, but she couldn t stop herself.
Our kids. You do want kids, don t you? I m afraid the Granites tend to throw males. I don t have a
single female cousin. You do like boys, don t you?
Kate looked away from him, out to the booming sea. Sarah would have children. All of her sisters would
have them. She d probably tell them all stories. Maybe she should have been the one to wish on the

snowglobe. Maybe she should have wished for the courage to do the right thing.
Katie, if you don t want children, I ll be happy with it being just the two of us. You know that, don t
you? He unlocked the door to the house and stepped back to let her in. Children would be wonderful,
but not necessary. If we can have them. Sometime in the future, after I ve spent endless time making love
to you all over the house.
