“Unlucky for you, I am.”
Grabbing my face, she looked deep into my eyes. “Take me home. Please. I want to go home.”
I didn’t have to be told twice, claiming her lips like she did my heart.
“I love you, Autumn. I want to forget about the past and just focus on the future. Can you give me that?”
She nodded. “Yes, I can now.”
“You’re not going to run away from me anymore?”
“No. My life belongs to you. It always has. I love you, Mr. Locke.”
“Say it again.”
“I love you, I love you, I love you!”
Kissing her passionately, I almost made love to her right then and there, but Capri walked in with Emily beside her. Through my craze, I didn’t close the door.
“Daddy!” The expression on my baby girl’s face almost brought me to my knees.
I let go of Autumn, and Capri jumped into my arms.
“You’re here!” Capri celebrated. “You came for us! I knew you would! I just knew it!”
Holding her close, I pulled Autumn into the side of my chest. Embracing both my girls after what felt like forever of missing them.
My world.
My heart.
My soul.
Was finally with me, and I was never going to let them go again.

“Momma!” Capri exclaimed, running into the kitchen with a little ball of fur in her arms. “Look what Daddy brought me home!”
“Oh my God, no he did not.”
Julian walked in after her. “Capri! I told you to let me talk to your momma first. Now I’m in trouble.”
“Oh, yes you are, Mr. Locke.”
“We just flew back this morning, and I’m already Mr. Locke?”
“You bought her a puppy? Without even discussing it with me first?”
“I was planning to, but Capri beat me to it.”
“You’re supposed to discuss it with me before you buy the puppy, Julian.”
He grinned. “Is that the way it works? I got it confused, but thanks for clearing that up for next time.”
“Next time?”
