I arch my eyebrows. “I am undecided. Why?” We have not mentioned leaving Eire and transferring to New York for good. And it is the primary time she’s talked about the town. It has been a month since every thing occurred with Malachy.

She steps nearer, places her arms over my shoulders, and laces her fingers behind my neck. She rises on her tiptoes and pecks me on the lips.

I seize her ass. “Why are ya simply giving me a peck? Do not I deserve greater than that?”

She softly laughs. “After all ya do, however particularly if we return to New York.” Her eyes twinkle.

Pleasure fills my veins. I need nothing greater than for Maeve to need to be in New York. Nonetheless, I am cautious. It is a massive transfer, so I tease, “The place’s this coming from? Is there one thing occurring in New York that ya did not inform me about? Ya do not have one other bloke there, do ya?”

She tilts her head. “After all I haven’t got one other bloke. That is not even humorous, Tynan.”

“I agree. Not humorous,” I state.

Her face turns critical. “Critically although. When are we going again to New York?”

“What is the sudden rush, princess?”

“You find it irresistible there. And I miss it too.”

Happiness fills me. I supply, “Okay, so ya need to go for the weekend?”

She shakes her head. “No, I need to transfer there.”

My coronary heart beats quicker. It is what I wished to listen to. However I am a bit shocked, so I query, “You do, huh? Why?”

“Do I’ve to inform ya why? You find it irresistible there, so why cannot I?”

“I did not say ya could not, however the final time we mentioned this, ya weren’t positive. It is an enormous transfer. Is there a cause ya now not need to be in Eire?”

She releases me, steps again, and sits on the couch. She pats the seat subsequent to her.

I sit down and put my arm round her shoulders. “Discuss to me, Maeve.”

She opens her mouth after which shuts it, taking a deep breath.

“What is going on on, child lady?” I ask, stroking her shoulder with my thumb.

She blurts out, “I really feel safer in New York.”

Shock replaces my happiness. For the reason that night time she was taken, she’s solely left Brody’s if she’s with me. I did not understand she had worries about her safety. “You’ve got felt such as you have been in hurt’s manner?”

She shakes her head and declares, “I really feel protected on this home, however each time we go wherever, I really feel like I am at all times wanting over my shoulder.”

“New York’s not any safer than right here,” I level out.

She shuts her eyes and squeezes them tight. “I desire a new begin. With you, after all,” she provides, opening her eyes.

“Nicely, that is good. I am glad I am not being chucked,” I tease.

She leans ahead and slides her thumb over my lips. “After all I am not chucking ya, babes. I would by no means try this.”

“Nicely, that is good.” I kiss her thumb after which transfer her hand away. “Ya actually do not feel protected right here?”

She sighs. “Perhaps protected is not the correct phrase, however every thing’s been blown up—actually. I imply, Belfast is in a nasty state. So is Dublin.”

“Aye. However dangerous issues occur in New York too. We won’t run or disguise from our issues,” I assert, enthusiastic about the dialog my dad and I had again in New York.

She lifts her chin, declaring, “I am not working from my issues.”
