“Too much work for you.”

“Family is never too much work,” Sawyer said. “We’d be honored to have you with us until you’re ready to live alone. I’ll bring in private nurses until you can handle things on your own. You’re strong and stubborn. You’ll be back on your feet and able to care for yourself before long.”

“Sure?”

“We’re positive. This is what we both want, David. Will you let us help?”

Another slight nod. “Thanks.”

“I’m looking forward to getting to know you better over the next few months.”

The door opened, and the nurse stepped in. “It’s time to go. Mr. Moran needs to rest.”

Janie squeezed David’s arm again. “We’ll be back tomorrow. Do what the nurses tell you. They’ll call me if anything changes. If you want me to come back today, tell them and they’ll call me.”

“Wedding plans. Go.”

“I love you, David. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Outside in the hall, Janie beamed up at Sawyer. “You heard him. Wedding plans. Go.”

He chuckled. “We have a lot of work ahead of us today.”

“Want to change the plan?”

“Not a chance. I can’t wait to slide a wedding band on your finger tomorrow. I love you, Janie Moran almost Chapman.”

“I love you, Sawyer Chapman.” She couldn’t wait to see what tomorrow held and every day thereafter.
