Simone swallowed and set her chin. "The next time I see Mother, I intend to have a grandchild in tow. In the meantime I'm going to call, write letters, send E-mail, voice mail, faxes, and anything else I can think of, until she yells her surrender. She's not getting away from me this time," she said vehemently. "Because I won't let her."

Blue's chest heaved softly as he chuckled. "You're your mother's daughter, Miss Doucet. Josephine hasn't got a chance." He tilted her chin up. "Especially when we parade a granddaughter in front of her."

"Granddaughter?"

He gave her a sober look. "Might as well stack the deck in our favor. Besides, chances are, she'd look like you." He caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. "I love you, Simone."

She looked at him a long, long time; so long his loving look turned questioning. But she couldn't speak, couldn't find the right words.

She wanted words that dazzled and sang.

Words to touch his soul.

Words powerful enough to etch her feelings, sure and forever, on his heart.

She wanted nothing less than the most beautiful and unique words ever spoken between a man and a woman.

But they eluded her.

And Simone was left with words whispered between lovers from the day before forever.

"And I love you, Blue." She smiled into his eyes. "More than words can say."
