“Did you really think I would let him sit in prison? I’d been waiting for this night for a while. I wanted to surprise you and it was so hard keeping this a secret.”
“God, Gabriel. I love you so much. Thank you.”
“I love you too, baby.”
The three of us sat down and enjoyed a wonderful dinner together. Gabriel had given my father a job at this very hotel and a free room until he could save some money to be able to afford an apartment. This, my life, was all too surreal. Having the two men who were the most important people and things in my life at my side was like a dream come true.

Three Months Later
Gabriel
“You have everything packed?” Kate asked as she walked into the bedroom.
“I do, baby. I wish you could come with me.” I placed my hands firmly on her hips. “But I’m going to be tied up in all kinds of meetings for days.”
“It’s okay. I understand.” She smiled.
“I’m happy you’re going to visit Rose this weekend. I really didn’t want you being here all alone.”
“I can’t wait to see her, and she finally gets to meet Lady.”
I brushed my lips against hers and hugged her tightly.
“I’m going to miss you,” I whispered in her ear.
“I’m going to miss you too. Try not to work too hard.”
“I promise to call you every day and expect a lot of text messages from me.”
“I look forward to each and every one. I love you, Gabriel.”
“I love you too, baby.” I gave her one last kiss and took my suitcase downstairs.
The truth was I had to fly to Boston for a planning meeting for a few hours. After I was done with that, I would fly to Mystic to surprise her.

Kate
It felt good to be back in Mystic again. Rose greeted me with open arms and fell in love with Lady the minute she saw her.
“I’m so happy you’re here.” She smiled.
“Me too.”
“Bobby is going to cover the bed and breakfast for me today while I spend the entire day with you and this little lady.”
We spent the day shopping, had lunch, took a walk on the trails, and then it was time to head back. When we arrived at the bed and breakfast, I noticed the dining room doors were shut. Rose never kept them closed.
“Ah, good. You’re back.” Bobby smiled. “I went ahead and made dinner for you.”
“Aw, Bobby, you shouldn’t have,” Rose spoke. “Kate, why don’t you go into the dining room and have a seat. I’m going to take Lady outside and see if she has to go potty.”
I gave her a smile as I opened the dining room doors and froze when I saw Gabriel standing near a beautifully decorated table that was lit with candles and arranged with fresh flowers.
“Oh my god, what are you doing here?” I asked with shock as I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. “What happened to your meetings?”
