Lone Star Loving (35 page)
Authors: Martha Hix
“I got to Waco before I had second thoughts about what you and Blyer were trying to accomplish. I realized I couldn't have been that wrong about you. I knew my angel wouldn't betray me, unless she had some higher motive than freeing herself.”

She was becoming a veritable watering pot! “All I wanted was to make it easy for you. All I wantâall I've wanted for a long timeâis your happiness.”

“Sweet angel . . .” Hawk's fingers combed through the hair at her temple. “I should have known there was no tarnish on your halo.”
“I don't have a halo.”
“Yes, you do.”
Hawk got the last word. At last.
