  Chloe’s eyes brimmed with tears as Shona looked up at her.

  “If we could dream for a moment, pretend that it’s possible.” Shona paused, a lump forming in her throat. “Chloe, will you marry me?”

  “Yes… Yes.” Chloe sank to her knees and embraced Shona, kissing her with abandon. David squealed and clapped.

  They both reached out to grab Cooper and David and sat back on the white sand, listening to the clear Californian ocean lapping against the shore with tears of complete love. Looking up behind them at the bright white beach house glistening in the morning sunlight, they knew in their hearts they were both finally free.

  They were finally home.
