Connie shook her head and rolled her eyes. She couldn’t understand why every time Vinnie’s name came up Trace broke out laughing.
“From this day forward, do not mention his name,” she said with mock disgust.
“Oh...” He sobered, but it was easy to see that he was fighting a smile. “What? Too soon?” Again, he lost it and stumbled out of his seat.
Connie couldn’t hold back her own laughter. Despite all the bad things that had happened in the past weeks, and the losses she had endured, including Vinnie, something good had come of it all.
Trace.
He was the best thing that had ever happened to her. If it meant reliving the worst weeks of her life to have him...she’d do it all over again.
