Her lips curve in that sweet, vulnerable smile she only smiles for me. “Me, too. And I want you to know… Back when I was married before, I wasn’t sure I wanted children. But with you…” She reaches out, resting her hand on my chest just above my heart, her eyes shining. “I can’t wait to make a baby with you, Dimples. I want everything with you. Today and tomorrow and the highs and the lows and every second I can get for the rest of my life. You are my…favorite adventure.”
Throat tight, I lean in, kissing her forehead. “Same. My very favorite. Always.”
I draw her against me, and she rests her cheek on my chest. I kiss the top of her head and wrap her up in my arms, and we watch the snow drift until we fall asleep.
And when we wake up the next morning, we’re still in each other’s arms, and we stay that way.
For a long, long time.
