“No worries. I’ve got my big girl panties on. I can handle it,” Lucy said.

He grinned at her. She gently touched his face as their lips met in a passionate kiss.

“I’m going out,” Michelle said. “Is there anything you need me to pick up for you?”

“No. I’ve been ordering my books and everything else online,” Lucy said. “Thank you, though.”

“Micah is upstairs working in his home office. Don’t answer the door for anyone unless you know them, especially delivery guys. Get Micah to do it.”

“I promise,” Lucy said.

“Lock the door behind me. I have keys,” Michelle ordered.

“Yes, Mama.” Lucy smiled.

Michelle hugged her and walked out the door. She stood on the porch for a minute to make sure that Lucy locked the door.

Lucy went into the library, curling up on the couch. She had a book in her hand, but her eyes felt heavy. They flew open suddenly when she heard the doorbell ring.

Sighing, she went into the foyer. Remembering Michelle’s orders, she looked through the peephole to see who it was. Shocked, she unlocked the door.

“Leo. What in the world are you doing here?” she asked.

“I missed you. I made a huge mistake when I hurt you and I want another chance. Please, please forgive me.”

“How did you even find me?” Lucy asked, shocked.

“I overheard your mom and dad talking at a restaurant the other day.” His eyes bugged out. “Are you pregnant?”

“Yes.”

“If you’ll take me back, I swear that I’ll treat the baby like it was my own, no questions asked. Please. I’m so sorry,” Leo said.

Lucy stared at him, wondering how she could have ever imagined herself in love with him.

“There is no way in the world that I would let you back into my life,” Lucy said. “I’m sorry that you came all this way, but you need to go back to Ashley. Last I heard, she was having your baby.”

“She is. We tried living together, but she’s… well, she’s just not you,” Leo said.

“Not happening,” Lucy said. “Go back to the shifter world. I wish you the best of luck.”

Lucy started to shut the door, but Leo pushed the door back hard and grabbed her arm.

“You have to listen to me,” Leo said.

Suddenly, his eyes got wide and he dropped his hand. Micah physically picked him up and tossed him onto the lawn.

“Don’t ever lay a hand on her again,” Micah said, walking back into the house.

“I will find a way to make you love me again,” Leo said.

Lucy shut the door.

“Do you want Leo back?” Micah asked.
