Oh. My. Stars.

They had to be the cutest things on this earth I had ever seen.

Both of them looked identical to their dad, but both of them had dark mahogany hair.

It was a deep sage green that wrapped around my breasts and tied just off to the left.

Leaving the parts that weren’t tight to my skin to billow just right.
