Michael burst out laughing. “You want to go back to the Jungle Suite?”
Suzanne’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “We never did get to try out all those mirrors.”
Michael grinned and thought about living out every fantasy that room had inspired. Thought about years ahead to watch a son grow and, God willing, to father Suzanne’s babies. To grow old in the sunshine of this woman’s love when he’d expected to live out his life alone.
He covered her mouth with his and wrapped her tightly in his arms, vowing to make the most of every second fate granted him with this remarkable woman, so much his opposite and so very perfect.
He whispered good-bye to Elaine and their baby, feeling a new and blessed peace settle over his heart as he finally let go of the grief and pain that had been his constant companions for so very long.
And he thanked his lucky stars that sometimes in life, despite what you deserved, you got second chances. He would make this one count.
Special thanks and acknowledgment are given
to Jean Brashear for her contribution
to THE COLTONS series.
