"It really is," I replied, kissing the top of her head. "We’re so lucky to have this life. You, me, the boys, and the new and improved Misfit Cabaret."
As the night wound down, we took Leo and Max back to our cozy caravan. The boys were sleepy but happy, their eyelids drooping as we tucked them into their small beds. Ava kissed their foreheads, her touch gentle and loving.
"Goodnight, my sweet boys," she whispered, her voice soft and soothing.
I followed suit, kissing them goodnight and watching as they drifted off to sleep, their breaths evening out. We stepped outside, taking a moment to enjoy the quiet night. The stars twinkled above us, a blanket of diamonds against the dark sky. Ava and I embraced, her body fitting perfectly against mine. "I’m so grateful for everything," I said, my voice filled with emotion. "For you, for the boys, for this incredible journey we’ve shared."
She looked up at me, her eyes shining with love. "Me too, Dante. We’ve built something beautiful together."
We stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, feeling the weight of our journey and the joy of our present. The challenges we had faced only made our bond stronger, and the love we shared was a testament to the life we had created. In that moment, under the stars, I knew that no matter what the future held, as long as we were together, we could face anything. Our love, our family, and our circus life were all intertwined, creating a tapestry of memories and dreams that would last a lifetime.
The End.
