Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter 19 Ian took Hannah to his house when they got to town. He wanted to talk to her privately before taking her to the academy. She gave him a questioning look when he pulled up to the curb and shut the truck off. He got out and walked around to her door, opening it and helping her down. He escorted her to the door and into the house. They sat down in the living room before he began. “Hannah, I want you to know that I am going to be talking to my Captain yet tonight. I want to continue to spend time with you. There is no way that we will be apart now that we’ve found each other and healed those pains from so long ago.” He paused to look at her, “Hannah, I love you and want to be with you, be a part of your life, and help at the school.” She knew he was looking at her to see if she wanted the same thing. “Ian, I want that too. I love you!” She took his face in both hands to make sure he knew that she meant it. “Hannah, you make me so happy! I know it’s soon, but will you be my wife?” The smile she gave him lit the whole room and her yes filled his heart. They made love there on the couch before he took her back to the school. He told her they would make the announcement to Claire and the others once he got the okay from Riggs, and he had a chance to buy her a ring. With a smile she said she could keep it a secret, but not for too long. They were both welcomed by Claire at the academy, and she knew that something had changed between them but didn’t ask. Hannah wasn’t ready to be alone but knew Ian had to go. But before he left, he asked if she would join him for dinner tomorrow night. She beamed a smile as a response. With that he left to go have a talk with Riggs. He knew it would be harder than admitting that he had committed the prank that brought Hannah into his life.
