I cover one of her hands with mine. “I wish I could remember meeting you back then.”
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that I found my way back to you.”
I turn and wrap my arms around her, resting my cheek on top of her head.
“Then we can make this work,” I tell her with a sigh.
She takes a step back and looks up at me. “Are you sure?”
“No, I’m not. But Danville owes me a sabbatical, and if I lose my position, then I lose the sabbatical. And I want you to be happy, Avery. More than anything. So, if this will make you happy, then I won’t stand in your way.”
She stands on tiptoe and brushes her lips against mine.
“There are going to be rules, though,” I tell her with a growl.
“Of course, Daddy,” she giggles.
I’m a dead man. The moment she called me Daddy, I was done. I’m going to spend the rest of my life wrapped up in her, making her happy. That’s truly the only way to live a life, loving the one you were meant to be with, and there isn’t a doubt in my mind that Avery is meant for me.
