Page 138 of Loving Olivia

I tell him good night and walk out. Stopping in Chloe’s room, I give her a quick kiss on her forehead. She’s sucking on her thumb and is almost asleep, so I try not to disturb her. AfterOlivia and I get ready for bed, we both climb in and she crawls over, draping herself across my chest.

“This was the best day ever,” she whispers.

I run my fingers up and down her spine. “It was,” I agree with her.

She sits up and looks at me.She is so beautiful.

“I love you, Victor Valentine.” She leans forward and kisses me softly before pulling back.

“I love you too, Olivia Valentine.”

She lays her head back on my chest and sighs in contentment. “You’ve made all my dreams come true,” she murmurs. I can tell she’s minutes away from drifting off to sleep. But she pops up again to look at me. She rubs her hand along my jaw. “The way I feel about you…” She swallows and blinks rapidly. “It’s like coming home after a bad day. You’re my safe place, and I never thought I’d have that.”

I sit up slightly and roll her over so I’m hovering over her. “That’s exactly how I feel about you too, Olivia. I love you more than words can say.” She smiles up at me with a look of utter contentment. “And I’m looking forward to coming home to you and our kids each day for the rest of our lives.”
