“So, how did a New England girl end up in Colorado?”
Mia lifted her head off Nick’s chest and stared at him. “How did you know I was from New England?”
“You told the doctor.”
“That night at the E.R.?”
“Yeah. You don’t remember?”
She shook her head.
He smiled. “It’s OK, babe. Nothing much about that night was worth remembering, really.”
“I know.” She still hated to think about what might have happened to her if Nick hadn’t stepped in.
He saw her face and pulled her in for a kiss. “OK?”
“OK.”
“So – New England?”
“Oh. Well, I moved out here after my parents died.”
“They – what?”
“A car accident six years ago.”
He stared down at her and thought about the smiling photos in her living room. “My God, Mia. Why didn’t you ever tell me?”
She ran her finger over his strong collarbone.
