Mountain Grump (Mountain Men #3)

Chapter 137 Tilda

Tilda

Ethan’s voice is thick.

And I think about the stars.

The comfort they’ve brought humans for centuries.

With my eyes, I trace the path again.

Memorizing it.

Refusing to forget it.

I flatten my hand on Ethan’s chest and feel the thud of his heart under my palm.

The stars are filled with stories. Dreams. Hidden truths. Famous myths.

But this man right here.

The one beside me.

He’s solid.

Real.

Mine.

And as we walk back to the house.

As he guides me in the dark.

I think about the time he called me Matilda Grant.

And I think about the way his hand feels in mine.

And I think about how I want him to stay mine.

Forever.

Until all that’s left of this world… are the stars.
