Endless as the Stars

by Domina Alexandra

  Carina reached over and linked their fingers together. “I’m not asking

  you to move in just yet,” Carina grinned. “But I don’t see your home being

  anywhere except with us. We’re your family.” The way Carina looked at Tia

  there was no mistaking her words.

  For the first time tonight, Tia finally understood what it was like to

  have a family to go home to. Picturing it now, Tia let warmth settle into her

  heart. Reaching out, Tia offered her hand. Carina took it as Tia squeezed it

  tightly. She peered over to Johnathan sleeping and then closed her eyes,

  thinking of the girls she’d pick up tonight from Sandra’s house.

  Losing Bruce was the hardest thing Tia had faced. He’d given her the

  opportunity to know his family and through that, find love in an unexpected

  way. She’d never forget him and would always honor his memories. Tia

  was finally ready to let go of lingering fears and accept the new life waiting

  for her.

  Tia’s eyes locked onto Carina, confident in what she needed. She’d

  never give them up. She loved them all. “I have every intention of building

  a life with you and those kids. My love for you is bigger than anything I’ve

  ever experienced and I’ll always love you.”

  They grinned at each other as Carina closed the distance between

  them, brushing her lips over Tia’s. This is what love felt like. Warmth,

  excitement, and need.

  A love as ‘Endless as the stars.’
