Ian looked to Emily. “What do you think, sweetheart? Should I ask your mommy to marry me?”
Emily clapped her hands and grinned. “Mom-mom-mom.”
Laughing, Ian glanced back to Cassie. So many emotions swam in her eyes. So much hope and love, and it was all for him.
“How did I get to be so lucky?” he murmured.
Shrugging, Cassie said, “I’d say fate has been pushing us together since the moment I fell into your arms.”
Pulling her tighter against him, he held the two most precious ladies. “This right here, in my arms, is my world. Nothing will come between us again. Not an ex, not my tendency to be noble, nothing. You’re mine, Cassie.”
Easing back to look down into her eyes, Ian saw his entire future looking back at him. “Tell me you’ll marry me. Tell me you’ll let me be Em’s dad. That you’ll even teach me all about horses. I want to be part of everything in your life.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she told him, wiping a lone tear that had slid down her cheek. “Besides, I still owe you that horseback ride you’ve never been on.”
Ian laughed. “How about we lay Emily down for a nap and we’ll discuss other plans for our family?”
The gleam in her eye told him she hadn’t missed his hidden meaning. “Our family. Those are two of the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard.”
He kissed her once again. “Then let’s get started on building it.”
