Can't Stop Loving You Read Online Free PDF

probably kind of risky.”
    He shrugged. “I love her, Maggie. The woman makes me feel like a man again instead of some old, worthless, worn-out bag of bones.”
    She rubbed her forehead, not wanting to dig too deeply into what exactly that might entail.
    â€œThis doesn’t change anything, sweetie. Dottie and I haven’t decided if we’re going to keep her house or mine, but we’d love to have you live with us.”
    She laughed. “With a couple of lovesick newlyweds?”
    Her grandfather scowled. “It’s won’t be like that. We’re too old to be carrying on.” He actually blushed and gave her a sidelong look, his lips curving into a slow smile. “Much.”
    Maggie was glad she’d swallowed her last drink of tea. Otherwise, sure as the sun rose in the morning, she’d have spurted it across the dashboard. Hot on the heels of that thought came the realization that her grandfather wouldn’t be alone when she left for New York.
    A heavy weight lifted from her shoulders, and a huge grin broke free.
    â€œFirst, Pops, let me say congratulations. As soon as I get parked at the roadhouse, I’ll give you a big old hug and a kiss. Then, I’m ordering a bottle of Bubba’s finest champagne—if he carries any—and which will probably be one step away from rubbing alcohol—to toast your upcoming nuptials.”
    She paused, let out a huge breath. “There’s something else, though. Something I need to share. To discuss with you. It’s what I thought you were upset about.”
    â€œI’m not upset.”
    â€œI realize that now. But you said you wanted to talk, and you were acting kind of funny.”
    â€œI was nervous.”
    â€œNervous? You?”
    â€œAbout telling you. Afraid you’d think I was being unfaithful to your grandmother.”
    â€œOh, Pops.” Her eyes filled with tears, and she blinked frantically. “Never. Grandma Trudy was a lucky, lucky woman. All anybody had to do was look at the two of you, and they couldn’t help seeing the love you shared. You were a great husband; she was a wonderful wife. You set an incredible example of what marriage should be.”
    Her hands gripped the wheel a little tighter as emotion flooded her. “But Grandma wouldn’t want you to live the rest of your life alone.” She glanced up through the windshield and waved a hand at the early evening sky. “My guess is that biggest, brightest star up there is her, smiling down on us right now. Giving her blessing.”
    Maggie heard a muffled sound and swiveled to see her grandpa blowing his nose on the white handkerchief he always carried. Even in the dim light from the dash, she saw his eyes were moist. Her own throat ached with unshed tears.
    My news, now. Time to dive in. “You know I signed to do a fall line of clothing.”
    â€œYep. For one of them big labels. I’m so damned proud of you, Maggie, girl. You put off going away to school to help with Grandma when she got sick, then one thing and another. Turns out you didn’t need that piece of paper. You’re gonna be a huge success without that degree.”
    â€œI think the jury’s still out on that.”
    â€œYou’ve got a gift, Maggie, and now the world is gonna get to see it.”
    â€œThe show’s in New York.”
    Dawning realization flashed in his eyes. “How long you gonna be gone?”
    â€œI’m moving there, Pops.”
    Voice thick, he said, “Should have guessed that. Probably would have if I hadn’t been so wrapped up in my own doings.”
    He patted her shoulder. “You’ve worked hard to make this happen. Can’t say I’m not gonna miss you ’cause I will. Like I’d miss my right arm. But I’m happy for you, sweetheart. You’re gonna take that city by storm.”
    He raised a hip and tucked his hanky into his back pocket. “Looks
