Оглавление“I’m sorry to be so much trouble.”
Ben glanced at her quickly. “You aren’t any trouble. Besides, I feel it’s partly my fault you fell.”
“I wanted to try on my own, remember?”
“But I shouldn’t have let you.”
She chuckled. “I don’t think I gave you a choice. Still, thank you for helping me.”

Rebecca felt color flood her face and she felt all jittery inside as she said, “You can put me down now and I’ll try my crutches.”
Ben eased her to her feet, holding her at the waist to steady her, which did nothing for her flutters. He bent down to whisper in her ear, “You aren’t very good at asking for help, are you?”
“I suppose I did get used to doing things on my own.”
“That is understandable, but you have people more than happy to help you now.”
And he’d been one of them in so many ways. But the more he helped the more she began to see him as the hero her daughter did. And she knew better. She didn’t believe in heroes anymore.
