truth.”
    I turned around as the clock chimed, alerting us that my session was over. Dr. Neil got up from her seat and handed me a tissue.
    “It’s okay, Rory. We’ll talk more about this at our next session. Perhaps it would be beneficial for you to talk to Ian about it. Considering his mother left him when he was a child, it seems like this is something the two of you could really help each other with.”
    I grabbed my purse from the couch and gave Dr. Neil a light hug. “Thank you, Dr. Neil. I just might do that.”
    As I was walking out of the office, my phone rang. I pulled it from my pocket and saw that Ian was calling.
    “Hi, honey.”
    “Hello, sweetheart. Are you on your way home?”
    “Yeah. I just left Dr. Neil’s office and I’m getting in the car as we speak.”
    “Good. We’re going to go out to dinner with Adalynn and Daniel tonight. She wants to discuss the wedding.”
    “Sounds like fun. I’ll be home soon. I love you.”
    “I love you too, sweetheart. Hurry home. I miss you.”
    “I miss you too,” I said as I hit the end button.
    All the way home, my mind kept going back and forth about my father and what Dr. Neil said about finding him. Things with Ian were so good right now and I was settling into my new life. Did I really want to fuck it up by bringing my father into it?
    After I pulled into the driveway, I walked through the door and headed straight to the kitchen. Ian was standing at the counter , eating a blueberry muffin, and Mandy was at the sink, washing some dishes.
    “Welcome home, sweetheart.” He smiled.
    I walked over to him and kissed his lips, tasting nothing but blueberries. “Thank you, my love. You look like you’re enjoying that muffin.”
    “Always do.”
    I gave him a smirk as I said hi to Mandy.
    “How did your appointment go?” Ian asked.
    “It was okay. If you don’t mind, I really don’t want to talk about that right now.”
    “Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” Ian asked as he took my hand.
    “Nothing. We just talked about my father. I don’t want to think or talk about it right now.”
    “Okay. We can talk about it when you’re ready.”
    Ian tore off a piece of his blueberry muffin and handed it to me. “Here, blueberry muffins always make things better.” He smiled.
    “Your obsession with blueberry muffins is starting to worry me.”
    “Is that so? Well, I have another obsession,” he said as he picked me up and carried me through the kitchen and up the stairs to our bedroom.

    “As much as I don’t want to get out of this bed, we do need to get cleaned up to meet Adalynn and Daniel for dinner.”
    “I know,” Rory whined as she rolled on top of me. “But first, I need to kiss your lips,” she said as she kissed me. “Then I need to kiss your sexy chest.” She smiled as her lips traveled to my bare chest. Then I need to kiss your—”
    “Whoa,” I said as I stopped her. “Sweetheart, do me a favor and save that for later tonight. If you do that now, we won’t be meeting Adalynn and Daniel for dinner; that I can promise. ”
    “You’re no fun,” she whined.
    I kissed her soft lips as she stared into my eyes. “I’m so in love with you, Rory, and I need you to believe that. No matter what you want to do about your father, whether it be find him or forget about him, I’ll be here for you, and I’ll help you get through it.”
    “I do believe you love me , and I’m so in love with you too. We’ll be here for each other.” She smiled.
    I pulled her down onto me and held her tight. “I’m happy; so happy and I don’t want anything to ruin it.”
    “Nothing will, Ian. I promise,” she whispered.
    Somehow, I got the feeling that all was too good to be true and something was coming our way.
    We both got up and got dressed. Rory freshened up her makeup and we headed to Cabot’s for dinner. Joshua had the night off, so I drove. We were stuck in typical Los Angeles traffic and when I looked over at Rory, I noticed
