“Yeah, at the resort. I mean, it is where we fell in love.”
“Maybe it’s whereyoufell in love. I fell in love a long time ago,” I said with a smile.
She playfully pushed me and laughed.
“Okay, that’s fair. But maybe we come back next summer and have a wedding here. What do you think about that?”
“I think that sounds perfect,” I said, giving her another kiss on the cheek.
A summer wedding in the Swiss Alps sounded absolutely perfect. I wanted to give her the celebration she had dreamed of, and the one she deserved. Nothing would make me happier than seeing her happy.
“We should probably get going,” she suggested, starting to get out of bed.
“Are you going to join me in the shower?”
“Well, we wouldn’t want to waste water, now would we?”
The thought of her pressed up against me was more than enough motivation to get me out of bed. I hopped to my feet and followed her into the bathroom, kissing her neck as she turned on the water and waited for it to warm up.
After a hot shower,hot breakfast, andhotfun on the couch, we headed back out into the cold to trek back to our chalets. When we arrived, we were greeted by Laila and Cora running out into the snow to greet us.
“Daddy!” they squealed as they each hugged one of my legs.
“Girls! Come back here and put your boots on,” Beth called after them.
“I’m going to say hello to my family. I’ll see you in a bit,” Skye said as she made her way up the steps of her chalet.
I only had a moment to watch her walk away before little girls were clamoring for my attention again. I scooped them up into my arms and carried them into the house, giving each of them a quick peck on the cheek.
“Did you two behave yourself for Beth?”
“No,” Cora admitted.
Laila shot her a look that told me everything I needed to know.
“What did you do?” I asked sternly.
“Nothing, Dad!” Laila argued.
“We stayed up past our bedtime,” Cora said with a grin.
“Well, what did you do that for? Didn’t Beth put you to bed?”
Beth gave me a look, and I knew she had done everything right. Sometimes kids had their own plans in mind, however.
“We stayed in our room!” Laila told me.
“Yeah… but we played for a long time. Beth told us to go to sleep so many times. It was so funny.”
“Cora, you know you’re supposed to go to bed when Beth tells you to.”
“I know,” she said, looking down at her feet. “We were just having too much fun.”
“Well, maybe the two of you should take a nap this afternoon.”
“No!” they squeaked together. “We’re too old for naps!”
“You’re never too old for naps. In fact, I thinkIwill take a nap today, too.”
