“I cannot believe this is real,” I said to Nick when we were somewhat alone.

Nick pulled the heavy book toward us to flip through the pages. “It’s real. You created this.”

Tears pricked my eyes because I was pregnant, emotional, and overwhelmed with joy. How did I get so lucky?

“It looks even better on the page.” The glossy pages, the bolded captions. Everything looked pristine and professional.

We sipped our drinks as we paged through it. Hunter and Brody joined us, pointing out the places we’d been and what they’d been doing when I snapped the pictures. I was so happy they felt included in the project. I was able to spend time with my family while working. It was the perfect combination.

A little while later, Brooke raised a glass to toast. “I have one more announcement.”

I raised a brow at Nick, but he just shrugged. We hadn’t discussed any other surprises.

“Abby’s already had an inquiry to create another book for St. Michael’s.”

My hands flew to my mouth. “You’re kidding?”

St. Michael’s was another historic city on the water just over the bay bridge.

Brooke shook her head. “As soon as I received copies of the books, I forwarded one to the town council. They called me to ask how they could get one for their town. They want to carry it in the gift shops.”

“That’s so—I can’t even think of the words.”

Nick pulled me into his chest. “I’m so proud of you. You’ve done everything you set out to accomplish and more.”

I gave him a look. “You’re the one who encouraged me to do this.”

He tapped the spot right over my heart. “The ideas were right here inside you, waiting to come out.”

I rested my head on his shoulder, content to be there. To revel in my accomplishments.

We spent the rest of the night celebrating with our friends. It was satisfying to have my work exhibited that way. And to know that more towns might want something similar? It was unbelievable.

But that was my life. When I believed in myself and took risks, anything was possible.

“Our life gets to be this good,” Nick whispered in my ear.

“I didn’t think it was possible before I met you, but now, I believe.” I rested my back to his front as his arms surrounded me and my baby bump. Our family and friends were gathered together. It didn’t get better than that.

The Way You Are

LILY

My baby was in the shop.

With the grumpy mechanic.

I chewed my fingernail as I checked my phone for a missed message. There wasn’t one.

Jake said he’d call when he knew what the problem was, but that didn’t ease my nerves. When he’d arrived to tow Berta, he’d asked whether I wanted her fixed. Clearly, he didn’t think she was worth saving, and his opinion burned in my stomach like a hot brand.

Berta was my grandmother’s baby blue VW van. She’d driven it for as long as I could remember. The van was a regular sight around town, filled with the flowers and plants she brought home to nurture.
