“Charlotte?” I shouted.
“Upstairs in the bathroom.”
I walked up the stairs and into the bedroom, pulled my shirt over my head, and tossed it on the bed.
“Hi,” Charlotte smiled through the mirror as she applied her makeup.
“Hi.” I kissed the side of her neck. “How was your day off?”
“It was good. How did your surgeries go?”
“Good. My last patient gave me a scare when her blood pressure bottomed out.”
“Is she okay?”
“Yeah. She’s fine.” I grabbed a washcloth, my razor, and shaving cream.
“Do you mind?” She asked as she pointed to my razor.
“Umm.” I looked at her.
“Oh, come on. You said I always did this.” She smiled as she jumped up on the counter and wrapped her legs around my waist.
“That was pre-traumatic brain injury and amnesia.”
“I haven’t forgotten how to shave, Conner. I just forgot about you.” She grinned as she dabbed my nose with shaving cream.
“You’re in a good mood today,” I said as she lathered my face with shaving cream.
“I called Giuseppe, and we’re meeting him tomorrow at his shop to go over the flowers for the wedding,” she said. “I remembered you saying his name, and when I scrolled through the contacts in my phone, his name was in there.”
“That’s great, babe.”
“Don’t talk, or I’ll cut you. Also, we need to stop at the cemetery tomorrow after meeting him.
I went to speak, and she stopped me.
“I said don’t talk. I want to go see Matthew’s grave.Why the hell do you want to do that, Charlotte?”she spoke in a rough voice. “Because I want to, Conner. I want to tell him I forgive him and think you should too.Why the hell would I do that after what he did?”Her rough voice spoke. “Because we discussed this already, and you said you would let it go. So, prove to me that you have.”
I grabbed her wrist and brought the razor away from my face.
“First of all, your imitation of me is lousy, and second, you don’t have to be so dramatic. I’ll take you.”
“Thank you. And my imitation of you was spot on.” The corners of her mouth curved upward.
Before we left for the Brewhouse, where the party was being held, I ran over to Christian’s to get Charlotte’s ring.
“Thanks for holding this for me, bro.”
“You’re welcome. It’s going to be a great night.” He grinned.
“Yeah. It will be. Charlotte asked me to take her to the cemetery tomorrow to visit the grave of the guy who hit her.”
“Why?” His brows furrowed.
“She wants to tell him she forgives him and wants me to do the same.” I sighed.
“How do you feel about that?”
