“Forever?” she asked in shock.
“How about we talk about this later? I want to get you home and taken care of. Is there any place you hurt?”
“No, I just ache a little bit.”
“I’ll make you feel better.”
She sighed and tucked her face against this neck.
“The car will be downstairs waiting. Should I get her bag?”
Rylan looked at her. “Faith, where’s your bag?”
“In a storage room on the fourth floor.”
Duncan nodded. “I know where that is. I’ll bring it down.”
Rylan watched Duncan walk out and stood.
“I think I can walk.”
He shook his head. “No, I need to hold you.”
She didn’t argue but tightened her arms around his neck.
He took the elevator down to the first floor and went out the back, where a big black car was waiting. He’d just gotten her settled in the back of the car when Duncan came out the door with her duffle bag.
“Do you need me for anything else tonight?” Duncan asked.
Rylan shook his head.
“Call if you do.”
Rylan waved. “Thank you.”
Duncan grinned and went back into the building.
Rylan got in the car and was pleased when Faith immediately scooted closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder. He lifted her onto his lap. “Hang on, baby. We’ll be home soon.”
