Reforming the Bear Read online

  He covered her lips with his index and middle finger.

  “You were right. I was stupid and I put my needs before your brother’s safety. It won’t ever happen again.”

  “God, I hope my brother never is in danger again.”

  “I did hear they arrested his boss and two of the other guys,” said Liam. “How is Mike doing?”

  “He’s good. They said he shouldn’t have any permanent health issues. The bullet just grazed his spleen.”

  Liam shook his head. “I’m so, so, sorry.”

  It was her turn to put her fingers over his mouth.

  “So where do we go from here?” asked Lucy.

  “What I’m about to say is probably going to make you mad at me again.”

  “Try me.”

  “I don’t like big cities like Philly. Not the sort of place for a bear. Plus, I have Sam to think about.”

  Liam pulled out of her and rolled on his side, quickly putting his arm around her so they could snuggle under the sheet. She knew how much Sam meant to him. She couldn’t ask him to choose him or her because then she would be the selfish one putting her needs before his.

  “I have Mike and his children here in Philly.”

  That was true but Mike after the scare he’d had, now that he no longer worked at the lab, had talked about moving out to the country.

  “If I moved to Montana, what would I do?”

  “You ever thought of interior design? I have this apartment that needs finishing because I’m going to rent it out.”

  “Um, I’m very expensive.”

  “I can pay.”

  “Really?”

  “Of course, not in money, but with lots of loving.”

  Lucy playfully pinched his butt.

  “Is my car running okay?” she asked.

  “Like new.”

  “So you think it’s okay to drive it back to Montana in the next couple of days?”

  “I guess so … does that mean I don’t have to buy an airline ticket to get home?”

  “Well, I might be able to give you a ride.”

  It was his turn to pinch her butt. “I’ll move there to be with you on one condition.”

  “And what’s that?” he asked.

  “You try and talk my brother into moving closer to Kalispell.”

  “I think I can do that. And it will save him the trouble of traveling west for the wedding.”

  “What wedding?”

  “Oh, didn’t I tell you? It’s something else you’re going to do besides the interior design work. You’re going to be a bear’s wife.”
