My mouth falls open.

“Seriously?”

“Bought the old Miller warehouse on the south side of town. Contractors start next month.”

“Gray!”

I throw my arms around him.

He catches me easily.

“Easy, Pumpkin.”

“That’s amazing!”

“Yeah?”

“Of course it is!”

I pull back.

“Does that mean you’re staying?”

He looks at me.

“That’s the plan.”

“For how long?”

“Indefinitely.”

“Indefinitely?”

“Figured it was time to stop running.”

“From what?”

He looks toward the mountains.

“Everything.”

I slip my hand into his.

“Even the past?”

“Working on that one.”

I squeeze his fingers.

“I’m proud of you.”

He gives a rough laugh.
