“And what if it becomes more than just the three of us?” I ask, my eyes meeting his.

“I’ll be ready for that too. I just want to spend my life with you.”

My heart squeezes. “And I want to spend my life with you.” I stretch up on my tiptoes, and he leans down, meeting me halfway. He kisses me deeply, and I sigh against him as he deepens the kiss. When I can hardly remember what my name is, he finally pulls back. “Can we go get Noah now? And show him the goats?”

He smiles. “Yeah.”

I squeeze his hand. “He’s going to love them!”

“We’d probably better bring Ransom too.”

“Really? Why?”

“Because he loves those things; he’s been here nearly every day.”

I laugh. “Of course he has.”

We walk back to his truck hand in hand, and I eyeball the land where our cabin is going to be. My heart is so full, I don’t know how to even handle it. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, Jackson.”

He squeezes my hand. “And you’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

I know our battles aren’t done. The enemy is still out there, but for today, life is good. Noah and I are finally safe and protected, and I am so in love with a really good man. With Jackson at my side, I’m ready to face whatever comes our way.
