Bella's Vineyard (14 page)

“May said that
we have to climb the mountains, not stride over them. But that we all need a
helping hand.”

“She’s right,
most of the time. But I reckon that at this moment, the way I feel with you in
my arms, I could step ride on over them.”

Bella turned to
face him, and stroked his cheek with her hand, moving in to the warmth of his
body. “I love you so much.”

“I love you
too.”

“It’s really
over now, isn’t it?” she asked.

“No.”

“No?”

“For us this is
just the beginning.” Vance kissed her, then picked her up and stepped right on
over the mountain.
