Lucas. The Manning Dragons, #4

Micky had been alone since her fiancé had taken his own life, just days before they were to be married. The note he'd left had put all the blame on her. It was in his handwriting, but she wasn't so sure that it was a suicide. She had her suspicions that it was staged to look that way, but the police were in a hurry to close the case and that was the end of it. So, Micky had packed up and moved to a small town in Ohio, took employment as a cashier in a grocery store, and kept to herself.
She liked it better that way. No one else would die because of her. Lucas Manning hated hospitals. His dragon hated hospitals even more. Only days after becoming an immortal, during a bank robbery, he took a bullet to the chest. By all rights he should have died. His doctor told him he was under too much stress as well and if he didn't do something about it, immortal or not, he could be in some serious trouble.
Taking the doctor's advice to heart, Lucas decided to make some serious changes in his life. Eating healthier was a smart change, so he went shopping. When the man put his things on the line she was in, Micky told herself that she was going to quit at the end of her shift. There wasn't any point in working much longer. And the sooner she got moved, the sooner- She realized that the man was staring at her oddly."I'm sorry.
Did you say something to me?" He shook his head and she started ringing up his things. A health nut came to mind when she rang up salad makings, coconut milk, and vitamins. When she was finished and told him how much it came to, he stared at her as if he'd never seen a woman before. "Are you all right?""I am now. What's your name?" She pointed to her name badge, thinking that he was off his noodle.
"My name is Lucas Manning, and you're my mate."Micky could have gone her entire life without those words.
