"Together."

I close my eyes, Grace safe in my arms, our baby growing inside her, Charlie snoring softly at the foot of the bed.

This is my life now.

From losing everything to having everything.

Enforcer. Husband. Soon-to-be father.

The ranch. The club. The family.

Everything I fought for. Everything I almost lost. Everything I'll protect with my last breath.

I think about the baby—whether it's a boy or girl, what they'll look like, teaching them to ride horses and fix bikes and live with honor.

I think about Grace—strong, brave, beautiful Grace who chose me when she could have chosen safety.

I think about the life we're building here on this Texas land. The legacy we'll leave.

And I fall asleep grateful. Hopeful. Happy.

Forever mine.
