Her eyes roll so hard, I’m afraid they might get lodged into the back of her head. I laugh as she leads me into the kitchen and passes me a manila envelope.
“What’s this?”
“Open it.” She gestures toward the envelope.
There is a slight tremble to my hands as I pull out a sheet of paper. My vision turns cloudy as I read the first line.
“You want me to adopt you?” I double-check the adoption papers to be sure.
She nods, her eyes looking as misty as mine probably do.
I ditch the papers and lift her into my arms. She might be getting a little too old for me to carry her, but I can’t help it. I still remember the days when she begged me to.
“Will you be my daddy? For real?” Cami blinks up at me.
I repeat the same words I told her three years ago. “There is nothing I’d like more.”
Lana pops out from the hallway where she was secretly recording the whole thing while holding Esme. Tears stream down her face, ruining her makeup.
I pull the three of them into a hug.
I thought I could never be happier than I was with Cami and Lana, but I was partially wrong. There is no way I could ever be happier than I am in this moment with the family I always dreamed of and the future I always wanted.
Saying goodbye to the Dreamland Billionaires is bittersweet. While I’m so proud of each of the Kane brothers for their personal growth, I am also sad to let the Kanes and their heroines go. This Dreamland world has changed my life in so many ways. It brought me new readers I care so much about and publishers who wanted to take a chance on me. But also, this series kept me company during some very difficult times in my life. It brought me comfort when I felt alone and provided me with an outlet to share a piece of my heart.
