She brushed the side of his face near the swelling and winced for him. “Does it hurt?”
“Nah.” He blew off her concern. “What did you mean you’re not sure?”
“What happens when we don’t need rescuing anymore? Because I’m thinking Josh and I are going to be okay from here on out.”
He looked down at his scuffed boot and then at her. “You’ve never needed me, Jenny. I’m the one who needs you and Josh, and even Buster, in my life. Walk away from me if you want, but not today, tomorrow, or a year from now without giving us a chance. You might not believe in luck enough to drop a nickel in a slot machine and take your chances, but I know it was my lucky day when I met you.”
“You think I don’t believe in luck?” Jenny reached into her pocket and pulled out a penny. “Then why have I been carrying this around since the moment I met you? And this.” She reached into her other pocket for the twenty-dollar bill. “I know you dropped this on purpose.”
“Never said I didn’t hedge my bets.”
“This,” she snapped the twenty in front of his face, “is the start of our mattress fund. The sooner you buy me that new mattress the sooner you’ll move off the couch.” She stuffed the bill into his front pocket, and then stumbled into him when he pulled her close. “My hand is still in your pocket.”
“I noticed.” His deep throaty chuckle sent a shiver all the way through her. “I believe we were about to solve our argument with a kiss.”
“Who’s arguing?” Jenny said close to his lips. “I’m falling in love with you, Garrett.”
“I’m standing right here to catch you. I love you, Jenny.”
She’d waited seven days for their first married kiss, but it was so worth the wait. The ground beneath her feet shifted. As Garrett deepened the kiss, Jenny realized he’d picked her up and put her in the car.
“Can we go home now?” Josh asked.
“Yes, we’re going home.” Where more kisses were waiting. “And Garrett is going to install alarms on all the doors and windows."
“Yes, Ma’am.”

Note from Rogenna:
One Night In Reno makes a nice lead in to my upcoming Harlequin Superromance A Stranger in the Family . The story takes place during Hannah’s and Mac’s romance in The SEAL's Baby and is the first in a series of One Night novellas created from secondary characters of previous works.
