Baden had never seen a sky like it. Twinkling stars in all their sparkling glory rained their light down on them. Then he saw a streak moving across the sky.

‘Is that a comet?’

Kate turned to him, her face alive with excitement. ‘Yes.’

He pulled her close, loving the way her curves fitted into him. ‘It’s a special night all round.’

She laid her head on his shoulder. ‘One worth remembering.’

Her quiet words unexpectedly speared him. One night. It was what they both wanted, what they had both agreed to. Neither of them was able to offer more. He couldn’t risk loving again. He had to protect Sasha. Kids loved easily, but as Kate didn’t want a relationship he couldn’t risk Sasha getting attached. Another loss could devastate her.

But he had tonight. They had less than twelve hours before real life returned. Before he was a doctor again, before he was a father again. Before life returned to what it had been.

So why the hell was he out here looking at stars?

He swung Kate into his arms and took her back inside.
