We were made for this.
The end of the song has us repeating certain lyrics, and when I finish, I stand to wrap her in my arms. Not able to hold anything back as I show her how much that meant to me.

Waking up in Adam’s arms is more than a dream come true; it’s my heaven. I gave up on my dreams so long ago, but now, I’m filled with so much hope that I don’t know what to do with myself.
I felt the way our voices came together so deep in my soul. This is what I’ve been missing. He’s filled this hole that I thought would forever be empty.
I run my fingers through his, stirring him awake. The sleepy grin he gives me in return makes my heart sing. This man is becoming my everything, and singing with him last night was one of the most amazing moments in my life.
“Morning,” he whispers as he leans down to kiss my forehead.
I hold him tighter, laying my head on his bare chest as memories of him making love to me last night run through my mind. It wasn’t until he wrapped me in his arms, carrying me upstairs, that I realized we had been downstairs. I was so lost in the moment, not having a care in the world but him.
And I loved it.
“You’d better watch it.” He chuckles under his breath. “You’re giving me a chub, and Cailin will be awake any minute now.”
I kiss his chest and push off of him just as I hear Cailin opening her bedroom door and calling for her dad.
“Come on in, sweetheart,” he yells to her once I have his shirt slipped over my head.
“Yay, you came back!” she says as she skips over to his bed, climbing up to join us. “I slept great! How about you guys?”
I giggle to myself as I curl back up against Adam, who’s got his arm tucked under his head to slightly prop himself up. I slept great, no thanks to her dad here.
He grins my way before saying, “We slept good. Why don’t you give us some time to get up, and we’ll get breakfast going?”
“Can I turn on the TV to watch cartoons?” Cailin asks, jumping off the bed.
“If that will buy me ten minutes,” Adam whispers to me as he slides his hand down my torso under the covers. I jerk, shocked he’d do such a thing, and he has to bite his lip not to laugh out loud before he says, “Sure. We’ll be right there.”
Once we’re alone, he throws me back, kissing my neck, as I fall into a fit of giggles, trying to fight him off.
We hear Cailin call for us from the kitchen, and he sighs, hopping off the bed in nothing but his boxers. Seeing his tall, fit, tattooed body stirs me even more, and I have to take a deep breath before getting up myself to slide on my pants.
Reaching for my phone, I see I missed calls from my sister and my mom last night. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath and tuck the phone back in my purse. I don’t know whose side they’ll be on, and right now, I don’t care. I don’t want them to ruin my high I’m finally feeling after all this time. So, I push the thoughts away and finish getting my clothes on.
We head downstairs where I help Cailin, and Adam starts the coffee.
“So, what’s the plan for today?” Cailin asks when Adam joins us in the living room.
“What do you think about going to the studio?” Adam asks.
I turn to him in surprise. “Seriously?”
“Oh, yes. Can we, Daddy?”
I look back to Cailin. “You like going to the studio?”
“It’s super fun! They have all these buttons and sliding things that they let me play with to make funny sounds, and I get to sing into the microphone.”
Her joy brings so much light into this world on a constant basis.
“What do you think?” Adam asks, placing his hand on mine.
