Our life has changed beyond all recognition. But more than anything, it’s full of love and joy and every day I fall deeper and deeper in love with Lily.
“Swim with me?” She holds out her hand for me to pull her up.
I place my feet flat on the ground and push myself to my full height. “I’d rather skate with you.”
“That’s a little difficult, given the climate.” She giggles.
I look down at her. “It’s hotter than fire here.”
“And you much prefer the freezing temperatures of an ice rink.” She moves up onto her tiptoes and kisses my lips. At the age of four, the same age I started skating, Theo’s already incredibly talented on the ice.
“Which reminds me.” She arches her back, trying to ease her back pain. “How do you like the name Blaze?” Lily runs her pointer finger down between my pecs. “I thought it was a nice mix of your name, Ash, and my nickname. Flaming orange like the color of a tiger lily.”
“I much prefer Wynter for ice.” I trace my finger down her nose and across her top lip.
“Blaze Wynter Johansson.” She joins our suggested names together.
“Now, that’s a good hockey name player if ever I heard one.”
“Like fire and ice,” she says, laughing.
“The best combination, Tiger.”
