“That girl already has both of them wrapped around her tiny finger,” I whispered in awe.
“Just like their momma does,” Ruby commented from beside me.
I pointed at Lyric. “He’s the same way,” I told my sister.
Lyric threw his hands up, clearly overhearing us. “I won’t deny it and I doubt your husband would either.”
My gaze went back to my retreating family, and I pushed myself up off the couch.
“Where are you going?” Ruby asked me. “Do you need me to get you something?”
She was like a mother hen, trying to help me after I’d just had the baby, and I loved her for it. But I didn’t need help with what I was doing.
I heard Lyric say something as he took my seat next to his wife, and she let out a sweet sigh.
Moving as quickly as I could to catch up, I kept my family in my sights as they moved through the house. Then, as if he could feel my eyes on him, my husband stopped and turned around.
He made a motion with his head and flashed another dimpled-smile, and I quickened my step to reach them.
“Couldn’t live without us for a minute, huh?” he teased.
They were my everything, so no.
“Not even for a second,” I told him.
His bright blue gaze, filled with love, sent my heart fluttering as usual.
“It doesn’t take three people to change a diaper,” Griffin said.
“Then we’ll watch and let you handle it,” Jett told our son.
Griffin thought that was awesome. “Wow, really?”
Jett and I both laughed as we began walking again.
My husband's arms were full, but he moved as close to me as he could, and warmth spread through every inch of me.
I had everything I could ever want in my life.
Damn, I was happy.
While this concludes theNo Surrenderseries, it won’t be the last time you see some of these characters.
They have ties to some people who come into play in my brand-new series coming up.
So stay tuned for more details on my new small-town series,Teardrop Falls.
