“I love you,” he whispered, trying it out again. She smiled.
“I love you too.”
A car screeched in next to them in the emergency room parking lot. He saw Dominic jump out, his eyes wild with panic. A van pulled in next. “We need to go to them now,” he said, touching her full lips.
“Okay. I’ll stay with you. As long as you need me to.”
As they walked into the ER, he clutched at her hand. He hated hospitals.
“I want to get married in June,” she whispered, calming him in an instant. “That work for you?”
He smiled and put her knuckles to his lips. “I want to have a baby next May. That work for you?”
She looked down, biting her lip, then back up at him. “Yeah. That works for me.”
“Good, now let’s go. I need to make sure my friend’s all right.”

There’s an entire series about them that includes the dramatic events at Lucasville High School. Each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, but a recommended reading order is:
Amazon best-selling author, mom of three, Realtor, beer blogger, brewery marketing expert, and soccer fan, Liz Crowe is a Kentucky native and graduate of the University of Louisville currently living in Ann Arbor. She has decades of experience in sales and fund raising, plus an eight-year stint as a three-continent, ex-pat trailing spouse.
With stories set in the not-so-common worlds of breweries, on the soccer pitch, in successful real estate offices and at times in exotic locales like Istanbul, Turkey, her books are unique and told with a fresh voice. The Liz Crowe backlist has something for any reader seeking complex storylines with humor and complete casts of characters that will delight, frustrate and linger in the imagination long after the book is finished.
Don’t ever ask her for anything “like a Budweiser” or risk bodily injury.
