“So, I’m looking forward to tonight,” he says as we walk down the stairs.
“Watching the ballet?” I smile. I know it’s not his thing. It’s nice that he does it for me though.
“No, watching you watch it,” he answers with that smile that always melts my heart.
I stop and gaze up at him. “Thank you.”
“What for, baby?”
“Everything. I love you so much.”
He presses his head to mine and kisses the top of my nose.
“I love you too.”
Every time he tells me that, I feel it all over. Inside me and all over.
I realized that the people in the coffee shop weren’t a fantasy.
They were always us, and every day that we’re together is another fantasy waiting to happen.
My dark knight in shining armor made me whole again.

I stand back and watch her in the garden with Timothy.
She’s playing with him in the little sand pit and they’re making a castle.
The both of them get the biggest smiles on their faces when they see me.
What’s even better than their smiles is them rushing up to me.
It’s the best thing about coming home every day.
This part when I hold them and I know they’re mine.
My bot and my girl, my wife.
Timothy squirms out of my arms and rushes back over to play in the sand pit. The sun picks out the lighter parts of his hair.
I continue to hold Ava and beam down at her in my arms.
“I love when you get home early,” she says standing on the tips of her toes to give me a kiss.
“You love when I come home early because it means more bed room time for us.”
“Busted, can you blame a girl? It’s no bad thing to fit in as much bedroom time as possible.”
“No it’s not.”
“Besides, how else are we going to fit in the other two children you want?”
I smile wide and crouch down to kiss her stomach. She’s only a few weeks pregnant and we’ve both been obsessed with the news.
I hold her out looking her tiny frame and think of how she healed me.
“I’m not complaining,” I answer standing up. I cupping her face and pull her in for a kiss.
As she kisses me I feel like the prince.
She really was the princess who tamed the beast inside me.
She was solace for my soul and I love her.
Following my heart was one of the best decisions I ever made.
