Davis tugs at my apron strings. “You ready to come home with your husband and take it easy?”

I simply laugh and glance over at Duke, who is hefting Lainie onto a stool so she can expertly smash the plungers. “When have I ever taken it easy?”

His smile is wicked. “Got two reasons to,” he says, his broad hand splaying across my rounded stomach as he leans down to sweep his lips across mine.

Twins.

It was the best, most shocking surprise of the entire year. If Davis has his way, we’re going to have a baker’s dozen of babies. But I love it. Love the world Davis and I have created. Filled withlove and chaos and babies and bottles, the way we both want it to be.

I never imagined this would have been possible. The darkness in my life so many years ago, sucker punched by sunshine and joy. Davis has devoured my heart and soul and has only given me happiness.

A year after Duke was born, my dream home at Eden was completed. A massive two-story modern farmhouse with a gourmet kitchen and a wraparound porch. Just like the setting sun, Davis is dependable. Every day, he rises, tearing up the gravel drive to start his days at Runaway Ranch.

And in the evenings…it’s a sight I never get sick of.

My husband coming home to me.

Weekends are for fun and bonfires down at the ranch. Our family’s close. We fight and argue and love fiercely. It seems like I can’t take a step around Resurrection without running into nieces, nephews, and sisters- and brothers-in-law I adore. Our compound at the ranch is growing by the day—especially with our twins and the recent news that Ford’s wife is expecting.

Now I know what love is. The golden light of Runaway Ranch. A flour dusted apron on Sunday morning and Davis Montgomery’s hand in mine. It’s bliss.

The greatest love story I could have ever dreamed up.

Davis frames my face with his hands, his brown eyes gleaming. “Home, Cupcake?”

A slow smile spreads across my face. “Home.”
