Could someone like me get into that? Small town like that?" "They have a midwife and everyone loves her." Luke laughed. "You'd have some stiff competition." "What I mean is, could someone younger than thirty-eight want that life? Or do you have to be this crusty, beat-up old grunt?"

"But that's a guess," Aiden said. "And this is a remarkable, committed, stubborn, aggressive woman who's been up against a lot and knows what she wants." "You tricked me," Luke said.

If you let her get away?" Luke
