Nick and Lori's family had wintered with them. Jonathon and Fleur and Daniel, and this time an out-of-luck magician who had charmed Maggie and astounded them all with his sleight of hand. If a few items had disappeared with him, Morgan had merely chalked it down to payment for services. He no longer believed in black and white; he'd discovered that life was never that exact, that living life, really living it, meant compromise and accepting weaknesses as well as strengths, in himself as well as others.

He'd learned that Jonathon's inherent decency, his compassion toward other people, more than compensated for his rather loose interpretation of honesty. Daniel had taught Morgan that, and Morgan found himself looking forward to Jonathon's visits, to that blind optimism and sense of adventure that was so much a part of him. And to long philosophical discussions with Daniel, who was godfather to young Nick.

How easily Morgan had once dismissed them as charlatans and crooks.

Nick wriggled in his arms. “Go home,” he demanded.

Morgan looked up at the endless blue sky above, the valley below that held his heart. He leaned down and rumpled Nick's tawny hair. “All right, Button,” he said, hearing the elation in his own voice, a happiness that still astounded him at times. “We're going home.”
