“I like your Bear,” Paulie said with a wide grin.

“He likes you too,” Javier returned with real affection that made Pamela’s heart melt.

“You gonna marry us?”

Pamela’s cheeks burned with embarrassment at her son’s innocent inquiry. Still, she bit her lip and waited for the answer. Yes, they were mates, but that didn’t always translate into more.

She’d always dreamt of a real home, a husband, and a family of her own. Their eyes met and Javier’s glittered at her as he cocked his head, reading her like the open book she was.

Dammit.Was he going to say something? She ignored the quiet as everyone started to go inside, giving the trio some much needed privacy. All the while her pulse raced and heart pounded. This was the scariest moment of Pamela’s life, and that was saying something.

Heart on the line, she waited impatiently while Javi fastened the towel tightly around his hips as fat snowflakes started to fall down on them.

“Well?” Paulie asked.

Insert impatient yowl here.Her inner Tiger hissed and chuffed, but Pamela didn’t know what to do or say, so she remained motionless.

Waiting.
