With a last glance at the star-studded night, Maeve turned and went on silent feet through the bedroom to the nursery. A lamp on the dresser sent out a soft glow, enough to show a yellow plush teddy bear sitting in the rocking chair near the window. She crossed to the crib and looked at her sleeping son. He lay on his back with his arms outflung.
“Perfect, isn’t he?” Dario whispered, coming up behind her and slipping his arm around her waist.
“Perfect,” she echoed, and pressing a kiss to her fingertip, she placed it gently on her baby’s rosy cheek. “I love him so much.”
Dario turned her away. “And I love you. Come to bed now, my darling, and let me show you how much.”
She went with him, his words alone enough to unfurl the passion always lurking in her soul. She was home at last. The two people who meant the most to her were under this one roof.
They loved her.
She loved them.
It was enough. It was everything.
Joy spilled over her, rich and warm and forever.
