Chapter 650

• Ben couldn't prevent a smile from reaching his lips. "The truth? It's them. It's the amazing women with whom I've fallen in love. They know I love them. Completely. If they weren't secure enough to accept that and discard all notions of jealousy, then it would all come crashing down. So the success is entirely on them." His smile slipped a little as his gaze focused on nothing. "There are times, like now, when it hits me how unworthy I am to have so much love in my life. I can only do my best to let them know how grateful I am." He gave himself a little shake then flashed a weak smile at the Sergeant as he realized he'd overshared. "Does that answer your question?"
• She nodded.
• "Again, my apologies for the uninvited kiss last night. I'll try to keep a tighter rein on my emotions in the future," he said contritely.
