“I love you. Thank you. Thank you.” I looked up to Christian who was smiling at us. “Thank you too, Mr. LaMont.”
“It’s Christian. I hope that when you reach France on your honeymoon that you’ll come to my chateau there. I’d love to show you where I’ve hung, Little Girl Playing in a Puddle.”
My jaw dropped. “You have one of my paintings in your chateau?” My art wasn’t chateau quality, was it?
“Yes, of course. My wife and I love the whimsy of the painting. You captured the pure joy of the simple things in childhood in it.”
I could hardly breath I was so overwhelmed by it all.
“I must make my exit now. My wife is waiting for me.” He nodded towards an elegant woman sitting on the other side of the terrace. She smiled and waved. Christian shook our hands and returned to his wife.
“I can’t believe this,” I said, looking at the magazine again, and wondering if I was dreaming.
“Believe it baby.” Hunter kissed my temple.
“Thank you for this, Hunter.”
“I didn’t do anything. You have talent. Now the world knows it.”
I stared into his eyes, shining back at me with love. “I wouldn’t have any of this without you.” I pressed my hands on his cheeks because I wanted him to know my sincerity. “I love you no matter what, even if this didn’t happen.”
He smiled. “I know. That makes me love you even more. It makes me want to give you everything your heart desires.” He kissed the inside of my wrist.
“My heart only desires you. All this is magical, but all I need is you. I’m so grateful that you came into my life.”
“I’m the one who should be grateful, Natalie. You’re an angel sent to save me from a life lacking in love. Granted, sometimes I think you’re the devil, but either way, I’ve got love. My life is light and happy, and that’s because of you.”
“That makes two of us,” I said, wrapping my arms around him and kissing him. At that moment, there was nothing else. Just me and Hunter and our love. It was more beautiful than any piece of art and I’d savor it forever.

We kept love out of it.
We kept our names out of it.
And we also kept drama out of it.
…Or so I thought!
I met a mysterious stranger on a magical cruise.
His touch gave me the butterflies.
I would immediately go weak in the knees.
But it was all temporary.
One week. That was the deal.
That week turned into four years of raising a kid alone.
