The internal debate between staying and leaving Irvingly was one he had been unsuccessfully having for weeks now. (Mainly unsuccessful because the idea of willingly leaving her was ridiculous.) Which was why Beau pulled himself from the lust fueled moment to better understand what she was asking. Eva wanted him to stay with her, but what did that mean? Merlin, why had she waited until now when he was so easily distracted to bring this up?

Deciding staying was a conversation they could have in the morning, Beau decided on a simple, easy answer, "I'll stay as long as you'll have me." And it was the truth, even if he was growing increasingly convinced he would have to move out of the house. Eva and he had disrespected her father and cousins enough since returning from Arizona.
