still cradling her jaw in those large, capable hands, rested his forehead against hers. “Stop overthinking things.”
“Stop reading my face.”
“Stop projecting every thought you’re having.”
She rolled her forehead back and forth against his.
“Seriously, Grace. Stop borrowing tomorrow’s trouble. Today has plenty of its own.”
