The minute it was gone, Meagan kissed Sam as she’d never kissed a man in her life. He was officially her hero, and she didn’t care who knew. To heck with fears of “what if” things didn’t work out with Sam. Life was short and that’s why she’d chased her dreams, even when doing so was difficult. She clung to him and then stared into his eyes. “I am so glad you’re here, for so many reasons.” “Me, too, baby. Me, too.” He ran his hand down her hair. “Meagan! Meagan!” Carrie rushed in and bent down to hug her. “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe this really happened.” “We’re okay. That’s what counts. I need to make sure everyone else is, as well.” Sam pushed to his feet. “Keep everyone inside until I can make sure it’s safe, and assess any damage.” “I’m coming,” Meagan said. “Carrie, you stay.”
