“Ya tebya lyublyu,”Anton murmurs into my ear.
“Ya tozhe tebya lyublyu,”I respond. “Always and forever…vsegda i navsegda,” I add, because I’ve been practising my Russian while lying in his arms.
“Vsegda i navsegda,”he echoes.
And as I immerse myself in this moment of peace, holding my baby, listening to Niko, and feeling the warm strength of my husband, I know that we’ve truly found what I was secretly looking for my whole life.
And it’s not an expensive diamond.
Or a swift escape from the country with a ton of cash.
No.
It’s this, right here.
Our very own happily ever after.
THE END
