My Book Boyfriend #3

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme hosted by Missie of The Unread Reader in which we swoon over boys in books!

This week My Book Boyfriend is from Rescue by Anita Shreve which I have just finished reading.

Stats: Peter Webster, 22 years old, just your average guy, lives in a small town in Vermont, works as a paramedic, dreams of buying a piece of land and settling down, hard working, caring and honest.

He was her family now. He and the Bump.

"This is stupid ," she said. "I never do this. I'm just so happy." She bent her head to his chest, as if embarrassed by emotion. He wrapped her in his arms. "I never thought this would happen to me," she said. "Not like this. I don't deserve you Webster."

"Are you shitting me?" he whispered into her ear. "I'm the one who can't believe his luck. You roll your car precisely on my stretch of road, and I just happen to be in service? What are the odds that the love of my life would do that?"

"He wants to go to her. He's used to caring for a person who's sobbing. It happens to him at least once a week. But he can't go to this particular person."
