“Em?” I said as twilight started to make its debut.
“Yeah?”
“I love you.”
She kissed my neck. “You couldn’t make that clearer if you tried, Doctor,” she said into my ear.
A shiver ran up my back. Ten years together and the woman could still make me tremble with the lightest of touches. “You know it makes me all hot when you call me doctor.”
Swatting my backside, she glanced back at me as she made her way back up the stairs. “I know,” she said, raising a brow. “So let’s rush every one out of here, get the kids tucked into bed, and forget about the dishes until tomorrow.”
“Sounds like my kind of night,” I said as Emma went back through the screen.
“Don’t keep us waiting,” she called out, “birthday boy.”
I groaned my acknowledgment.
I was thirty today, well, sort of.
I’d given up an eternity ten years ago for a woman. For a woman that would give me the family I never imagined I’d have. For the woman who, even in my darkest of nights, could pull me back into the light with one word.
An eternity was nothing when you couldn’t spend it with that person. They were just days unfolding one after the other.
I might have a limited few now, but I was making each one count. Each day spent with her, with
them,
was worthy of an eternity.
