Manelik and Nydia moved to their house in Seattle along with all the members of his band. She has people working on the farm and the store. It’s temporary, she said. Too Far From Grace is back from its hiatus.
I want to believe it’s temporary, but Nathalie has joined a pediatric practice in Seattle. She and Fisher are trying to have a baby—a little sister for Keaghan. And maybe that’s also why Iskander is building a place in the city, so we can be close to his family. He’s trying to build a relationship with all his siblings.
“What do you think?” Iskander asks, taking me into his arms.
“I love it, but not as much as I love you.”
“Are you happy?”
“You make me happy, not the gifts, the dates, or… I only need your heart.”
I grab the collar of his dress shirt, pull him close to me, and kiss him. It’s a deep, passionate kiss. Like the ones I give him every time he’s close because I don’t want to miss a moment with him. I want us to know how much we mean to each other.
Iskander was never Rebound Guy—he is my soulmate.
The fear of losing him will never go away because life isn’t guaranteed, but I know that even if one of us is missing, we’ll find each other again.
“Why don’t we go home?” he says suggestively. “We’re still not sure if you’re pregnant.”
Last month, we decided to start a family. There’s no timeline, but he uses that as an excuse to have sex, and I love it.
“Lead the way, and maybe, we can find someplace on the ferry to practice.”
He wiggles a brow. “I like how you think, Mrs. Cantú.”
And I can’t believe I found my true love when I was broken. Maybe Nydia is right. Luna Harbor heals people.
