Brennan helps me make dinner as Patrick and Eli help the kids with their homework. Sawyer is in kindergarten so he doesn’t have that much homework and Sadie is only in preschool so she has none, but she hates to be left out, so Eli helps her with the preschool workbook that we got her.
Sawyer sets the table while Brennan and I take the chicken and vegetables out of the oven and carry it over to the table.
Patrick and Brennan eat dinner with us at least twice a week. Always on days when Cate, Patrick’s wife, is at work.
Frank and Susan moved back to Honey Peak after Sawyer was born. They didn’t want to miss out on a second with their grandkids and they usually join us for dinner at least twice a week too.
Sometimes it’s strange to have so many people around. I went from being alone to meeting Eli and gaining a whole group of friends and family.
I stare across the table at my husband, smiling as he helps Sadie with her glass of milk. We got married eight years ago in a small ceremony right here in Honey Peak. I made all of the food and Susan planned the rest.
Eli looks up and grins at me as his eyes lock with mine.
Who knew that my life would turn out this way? And all from throwing a dart at a map and uprooting my life. All from walking into the Grove Trading Post and getting trapped in some jacket. All from agreeing to some stupid deal to be his fake girlfriend.
It was the best decision that I have ever made.
