The man's deep, magnetic voice drifted down from above, and only then did Seraphina Ashworth come to her senses. 'I'm not dreaming. He's really here.'
A brilliant smile bloomed on her lips. She wrapped her slender arms around his lean waist and snuggled her head against his chest. "How are you back? Did Lochlan Knight tell you?"
