Have you ever been in love, Alison? He leaned in and draped his arm along the back of her chair. I'm not talking about a crush or infatuation. I'm talking about where you'd do anything for someone. Can't stop thinking about them. Be there if they were sick or just needed a shoulder to lean on. Someone you wanted to wake up to every single day and couldn't wait until you saw them again at night. Someone who made you feel like you're everything you've ever wanted to be.

So... Her shoulders lifted and dropped. What? You're going to let that walking cane snuff out the eternally grinning smart-ass that loves inside you?

She blew out a sigh. Guess there's not denying I've always had a crazy thing for him.Crazy as in he's so gorgeous you want to jump his bones? Or crazy as in you could see yourself spending the rest of your life with him?

Can I be honest with you? he asked.Aren't you always? And brutally so?I never realized you were a woman.She choked on a laugh of surprise. Excuse me?Inside my head... he pointed, just in case she didn't know what a head looked like. Inside my memories? You were always a little girl, like Izzy. Just a girl, skipping around, getting into trouble, and mouthing off. I never noticed you'd turned into a woman.Though the comprehension of the way he viewed her stung like the burn on her hand, she gave his broad chest beneath that worn-out gray Marines T-shirt an understanding pat with her unburned hand. I know. It happens to the best of us female types.His big hand came up and captured hers against his chest.Annie?yeah?His gaze slowly traveled over her face, down to her lips, then back to her eyes. I'm noticing now.
