The room was spinning. For a moment I thought the palms outside the window had been replanted around my bed. I shut my eyes, and when I opened them to see Cameron gazing lovingly at me from above, I couldn’t have been happier. Still, my heart didn’t leap the way it used to. Though I thought I had everything I ever wanted – my family safe and Cameron beside me – it felt like something was missing.

“I loveyou.”

“I love you too, Kate. With all my heart.”

“I’m tired.” I closed my eyes and began to drift off to sleep. Before I did, I heard Brook come into my room to speak with his brother. A few words pierced my consciousness, and Aaron registered in my ears. Cameron mentioned keeping me secluded until Aaron could be found.

“Did you tell her about the baby?” Brook asked.

“Not yet. She’s not strong enough to deal with thatnow.”

“I’ve set up a place for you guys in Montana. Until we find him, she needs to stay out of sight. Father has a place for Anna and Johntoo.”

“Good. I will not let another Cortez near her until my dying day,” I heard himsay.

And while I wanted to listen in more to their conversation, sleep overtook me, with one last question pending in mymind.
