He reached out and rested his palm against her cheek. ‘And I love you too, Dr Alice Butler. Want to know something? I love you for the way you look, the way you act and the way you always try to do the right thing but, above all, I love you for your brain.’ And he kissed her again. As she emerged from his embrace, Alice glanced up at Millie and grinned triumphantly.
‘What did I tell you?’
Millie grinned back at her. ‘Hang on to him, Al, this one’s a keeper.’
Alice looked back tenderly at Matt, her heart threatening to burst.
‘Nobody needs to tell me – I know.’
He smiled back at her. ‘Forever?’
‘Forever.’

About the Author
T.A. Williams lives in Devon with his Italian wife. He was born in England of a Scottish mother and Welsh father.

He’s taught Arab princes, Brazilian beauty queens and Italian billionaires. He speaks a number of languages and has travelled extensively. He has eaten snake, still-alive fish, and alligator. A Spanish dog, a Russian bug and a Korean parasite have done their best to eat him in return. His hobby is long-distance cycling, but his passion is writing.
