“I need to kiss you.” When she did not object, he leaned over and kissed her lips with exquisite care. “I love you. I love you with every ounce of my being.”
“I know, Daire. This must have been so hard for you.”
He groaned. “Me? You’re the one who did all the work… Suffered all the pain.”
“I’m not suffering anymore. What brought you rushing up here just as our son popped out?”
“I saw the moonstones. They shone…even at high tide.”
She closed her eyes and laughed. “Stay with me, Daire. Hold me while I sleep. Are you sure it is high tide?”
“Yes, love. Not a doubt.”
“Well, isn’t that something? Are they shining very brightly?
“Brighter than the sun, love.”
She closed her eyes and sighed as she nestled against his chest. “Isn’t it just wonderful?”
The End
